OUTLINE      OF      WORK 

This  report  is  divided  into  two  parts:  first,  that  part 
dealing  with  the  various  investigations  concerning  the 
construction  and  maintenance  of  dams  and  other  ob- 
structions in  navigable  waters  of  the  state;  and  second, 
that  part  dealing  with  the  collection  of  stream  flow  data. 

Pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  this  act  an  agreement 
was  entered  into  in  November,  1913,  between  the  Railroad 
Commission  and  the  United  States  Geological  Survey 
whereby  the  collection  of  stream  flow  data  should  be  car- 
ried on  as  a  cooperative  measure.  The  United  States 
Geological  Survey  agreed  to  pay  a  part  of  the  expense  of 
installing  and  maintaining  gaging  stations  and  publishing 
records.  Accordingly,  a  district  engineer  of  the  Survey 
was  detailed  to  this  work,  with  headquarters  at  Madison, 
and  he  and  his  assistants  have  cooperated  with  the  engi- 
neering staff  of  this  Commission  in  establishing  gaging 
stations,  conducting  stream  measurements  and  collecting 
the  various  types  of  data  described  in  this  report. 

A  very  thorough  investigation  of  all  available  records 
of  stream  flow  made  prior  to  the  establishment  of  gaging 
stations  under  this  act  has  been  conducted  and  the  data 
thus  obtained,  together  with  the  results  secured  since  the 
stations  were  established,  are  published  herein.  The  re- 
port further  contains  a  complete  gazetteer  of  the  rivers 
of  Wisconsin. 

Pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  this  act  requiring  an 
investigation  of  all  existing  dams  and  franchises,  there  is 
submitted  with  this  report  a  complete  list  of  franchises 
granted  by  legislative  acts,  arranged  by  counties.  This 
list  gives  a  brief  description  of  the  provisions  of  each 
franchise  with  the  reference  to  the  act  under  which  the 
franchise  was  granted. 

For  the  purpose  of  investigating  existing  dams  as 
required  by  this  act,  the  state  was  divided  into  five  dis- 
tricts or  drainage  basins:  namely,  the  Mississippi  river 
basin,  the  Wisconsin  river  basin,  the  Lake  Superior  basin, 
the  Lake  Michigan  basin  and  the  Rock  river  basin. 
Field  work  connected  with  the  examination  of  dams  has 
been  practically  completed  in  the  Mississippi  river  basin, 
the  Wisconsin  river  basin  and  the  Lake  Superior  basin, 


8  Railroad  Commission  Report 

with  a  small  amount  of  work  done  in  the  other  two 
basins.  This  remaining  territory  will  be  covered  and 
these  investigations  completed  during  the  coming  season. 

The  total  amount  spent  by  the  Railroad  Commis- 
sion in  this  investigation  from  July  1,  1913,  to  Septem- 
ber 30,  1914,  is  $20,613.53,  of  which  $9,492.55  was  ex- 
pended in  installing  and  maintaining  gaging  stations  and 
other  investigations  relative  to  the  collection  of  stream 
flow  data;  and  $11,120.98,  was  spent  in  investigations 
connected  with  the  construction,  maintenance  and  opera- 
tion of  dams. 

The  amount  spent  by  the  United  States  Geological 
Survey,  by  the  United  States  Indian  Service  and  by 
various  private  individuals  will  be  found  in  that  part  of 
the  report  relating  to  the  hydrometric  investigations. 


On  Water  Powers  to  the  Legislature 


PART     I 

Investigations    Relating    To    The    Construction,  Main- 
tenance   and    Operation    of   Dams    and    Other 
Obstructions  In  Navigable  Waters* 
Inspection  of  Plans 

Each  application  made  to  the  Railroad  Commission 
for  a  franchise  or  permit  to  build  or  rebuild  a  dam  across 
any  navigable  stream  must  be  accompanied  by  complete 
plans  and  specifications  for  the  structure.  These  plans 
are  carefully  checked  for  stability  of  structure  and  flood 
capacity.  If  found  satisfactory  they  are  approved,  one 
copy  being  sent  to  the  applicant  and  one  retained  in  the 
Commission's  file.  If  not  found  satisfactory  the  appli- 
cant is  required  to  make  necessary  changes  in  his  design 
to  satisfy  the  Commission  that  the  structure  will  be  in 
all  respects  capable  of  serving  its  purpose.  In  checking 
such  plans  it  is  necessary  to  make  a  thorough  examina- 
tion of  the  stresses  in  the  various  members,  including 
foundation,  due  to  the  water,  wind  and  ice  pressure. 
Investigation  of  the  drainage  area  above  the  dam  is  made 
to  determine  the  necessary  flood  capacity.  This  investi- 
gation involves  the  topographical  as  well  as  geological 
structure  of  this  area.  Usually  these  investigations  re- 
quire a  visit  to  the  site  of  the  dam  before  construction  is 
commenced,  with  one  or  more  visits  during  the  course  of 
construction  and  a  final  inspection  before  the  dam  is  ap- 
proved for  operation. 


BENCH    MARKS 

At  the  various  points  under  investigation  by  the 
Commission  where  dams  are  involved  bench  marks  are 
established  at  or  near  the  site  and  so  located  that  likeli- 
hood of  disturbance  is  a  minimum.  These  bench  marks 
consist  of  an  aluminum  bronze  tablet  set  in  a  concrete 
pier  which  is  usually  constructed  by  a  representative  of 
the  Commission.  These  piers  are  of  a  sufficient  depth  to 
insure  stability  of  the  bench  marks.  Two  such  bench 
marks  are  established  at  each  dam  or  site,  one  usually 
projecting  some  distance  above  the  ground  in  order  that 


,10  Railroad  Commission  Report 

it  may  readily  be  found  and  the  other,  located  some  dis- 
tance from  this,  is  concealed  under  the  surface.  These 
bench  marks  are  located  with  respect  to  some  known 
object  and  levels  run  from  them  to  various  points  on  the 
dam.  These  bench  marks,  will  be  referred  to  the  bench 
marks  of  the  United  States  Geological  Survey  when  such 
are  available  within  a  reasonable  distance. 

COMPLAINTS   AND    PETITIONS 

Numerous  complaints  are  received  from  time  to  time 
concerning  the  height  of  water  maintained  by  owners  of 
dams  as  well  as  complaints  of  damages  resulting  from  high 
water  or  from  alleged  improperly  constructed  dams.  These 
complaints  usually  involve  rather  extensive  investigations 
as  to  the  nature  of  the  complaint  or  damages  resulting 
and  the  rights  and  interests  of  various  parties.  Cases  in- 
volving alleged  unlawful  height  of  dams  resulting  in  dam- 
age to  riparian  owners  usually  require  surveys  of  the  dam 
site,  the  pond  and  all  lands  affected  by  the  flowage  of  the 
dam.  In  addition  it  is  necessary  to  investigate  rainfall  and 
runoff  conditions  as  well  as  the  adequacy  of  the  dam 
with  respect  to  strength  and  flood  capacity.  Examina- 
tions are  made  of  the  shoreline  above  the  dam,  if  possible, 
at  various  stages  of  water,  to  determine  the  effect  of 
high  water,  waves  and  ice  upon  the  banks  and  im- 
provements. Investigation  of  the  legal  rights  of  the  own- 
ers and  the  riparian  owners  must  also  be  conducted,  as 
well  as  a  study  of  the  uses  to  which  the  dam  is  put  and 
the  effect  upon  such  uses  which  may  result  from  an  order 
fixing  within  certain  limits  the  head  of  water  that  may  be 
maintained  at  the  dam. 

Following  is  a  short  statement  of  formal  cases  which 
have  been  brought  before  this  Commission  up  to  Decem- 
ber 1,  1914,  with  a  short  description  of  the  nature  of  the 
investigation  made  and  the  status  of  the  case: 

Height   of  Rest   Lake   Dam, 

Chippewa  &  Flambeau  Improvement  Co., 

Vilas  County  —  November  1912 

Under  chapter  640,  laws  of  1911,  the  Ghippewa  &  Flambeau  Improve- 
ment Company  obtained  a  charter  to  maintain  a  series  of  reservoirs,  one  of 
which  is  controlled  by  the  Rest  Lake  dam  in  the  town  of  Flambeau,  Vilas 
county. 


•     On  Water  Powers  to  the  Legislature  1 1 

This  dam  was  originally  used  for  logging  purposes.  There  are  some 
sixty  miles  of  shorelines  on  the  various  lakes  and  thoroughfares  affected  by 
the  water  above  this  dam.  On  these  shores  are  situated  numerous  summer 
resorts  and  summer  homes,  the  owners  of  which  petitioned  that  the  maxi- 
mum and  minimum  levels  of  these  lakes  be  so  regulated  as  to  cause  a  mini- 
mum amount  of  damage  to  their  property  and  other  interests. 

The  Improvement  Company  requested  as  wide  a  range  of  variation  as 
possible  in  order  that  the  best  use  might  be  made  of  the  reservoirs  for 
storage  and  power  purposes. 

Several  hearings  were  held,  and  extensive  investigations  made,  extend- 
ing over  a  considerable  period  of  time,  after  which  the  Commission  issued 
an  order  fixing  the  minimum  and  maximum  stages  of  water  on  the  Rest 
Lake  chain  of  lakes. 

Standard  bench  marks  were  established  at  the  dam. 

Obstructions  to  Navigation  in  Rock  River, 
Janesville  —  June  1913 

An  investigation  to  determine  the  extent  of  obstructions  to  navigation 
in  the  Rock  river,  in  the  city  of  Janesville,  was  made  on  petition  of  certain 
citizens  of  Janesville. 

Soundings  were  taken  to  determine  the  location  of  sandbars,  if  any 
existed.  Bridge  piers,  foundations,  and  accumulation  of  debris  in  the  river 
were  also  located. 

A  hearing  was  held  on  this  matter,  and  the  Commission  reported  to  the 
governor  that  obstructions  to  navigation  existed  in  said  Rock  river. 

Horicon  Marsh  Drainage, 

Horicon  and  Mayville  —  August  1913 

On  complaint  of  certain  freeholders,  taxpayers  and  residents  in  Dodge 
county,  and  the  cities  of  Horicon  and  Mayville,  who  allege  that  certain 
dredging  operations  in  the  Rock  river  through  the  city  of  Horicon  and  vici- 
nity have  caused  the  water  in  this  stream  to  become  stagnant,  an  investi- 
gation was  made  by  the  Commission.  The  city  of  Horicon  passed  a  drain- 
age ordinance,  granting  the  right  to  a  certain  drainage  company  to  straighten, 
deepen  and  maintain  the  channel  of  the  Rock  river  through  the  city  of 
Horicon.  This  ordinance  was  objected  to  on  the  part  of  the  petitioners, 
who  claim  that  the  dredging  company  had  no  legal  right  to  continue  the 
operations  of  dredging.  A  hearing  was  held  by  the  Commission  and  after 
all  evidence  was  submitted  the  case  was  dismissed. 

Obstruction   to  Navigation,   Beaver  Dam  Creek, 
City  of  Beaver  Dam  —  September  1913 

Upon  petition,  the  Railroad  Commission  investigated  obstructions  to 
navigation  existing  in  Beaver  Dam  creek  in  the  city  of  Beaver  Dam. 

It  was  found  that  there  are  a  number  of  piers  used  as  building  founda- 
tions located  in  the  creek  from  ten  to  fifty  feet  from  shore,  while  several 
buildings  project  a  considerable  distance  out  over  the  water.  One  of  these 
buildings  which  extends  the  entire  distance  across  the  river  is  not  over  three 
feet  above  the  surface  of  the  water,  and  in  times  of  freshets  the  water  comes 
very  close  to  the  fl'oor  of  this  building. 

Two  hearings  were  held  in  the  city  of  Beaver  Dam,  and  the  Commiss- 
ion's findings  have  been  submitted  to  the  governor. 


12  Railroad  Commission  Report 


Safety  of  Dams,  Wisconsin  River 
Tomahawk  and  Above,  November  1913 

Upon  petition,  the  Railroad  Commission  made  an  investigation  of  the 
various  dams  on  the  Wisconsin  river,  at  Tomahawk  and  above,  to  determine 
if  said  dams  were  safe  and  capable  of  carrying  off  floods  which  occur  in  that 
vicinity.  In  order  to  make  an  intelligent  report  on  this  matter  it  was  neces- 
sary to  make  a  rather  complete  study  of  all  features  of  the  drainage  area 
affecting  the  flow  of  water  through  these  dams  in  addition  to  an  exhaustive 
study  of  rainfall  and  runoff  records. 

It  is  believed  that  there  is  no  urgent  need  of  action  in  this  matter. 


New  Richmond  Roller  Mills, 
Application  for  Franchise  for  Dam, 
Apple  River  —  November  1913 

C.   W.  Arnquist,  J.   M.  Arnquist  and  Kate  Tolien, 
Application  for  Franchise  for  Dam, 
Apple  River  —  December  1913 

The  New  Richmond  Roller  Mills  Company,  a  Wisconsin  corporation, 
filed  with  the  Commission  an  application  "for  franchise  to  construct  and 
maintain  a  dam  and  power  house  to  develop  hydro-electric  power  not  in 
excess  of  250  horsepower"  on  the  Apple  river  in  St.  Croix  county,  Wis. 

C.  W.  Arnquist,  J.  M.  Arnquist  and  Kate  Tolien  objected  to  the  grant- 
ing of  this  franchise  to  the  roller  mills  and  in  turn  petitioned  for  a  franchise 
to  construct  a  possibly  conflicting  dam  farther  downstream.  The  New  Rich- 
mond Roller  Mills  Company  entered  objection  to  this  latter  petition.  As 
the  same  parties  were  interested  in  both  cases,  the  two  were  heard  together. 

Engineering  investigations  have  been  made  and  a  decision  will  be  ren- 
dered in  this  case  in  the  near  future. 


Northwestern  Iron  Company, 
Regulation  and  Control  of  Level 
and  Flow  of  Water  of  Rock  River, 
Mayville  —  February  1914 

The  Northwestern  Iron  Company,  a  Wisconsin  corporation,  owns  and 
operates  two  dams  in  the  city  of  Mayville. 

It  is  alleged  by  certain  citizens  of  Mayville  that  the  lower  dam  of  the 
Northwestern  Iron  Company  has  not  sufficient  flood  capacity,  and  due  to 
lack  of  opportunity  for  ice  to  pass  over  and  through  this  dam  in  the  spring, 
ice  jams  are  formed  which  cause  serious  floods  within  said  city  of  May- 
ville. It  is  also  alleged  that  this  dam  has  not  sufficient  gate  capacity  to 
carry  off  water  in  flood  time  without  seriously  damaging  the  property  of  the 
riparian  owners  in  the  city  of  Mayville. 

On  these  grounds  the  petitioners  requested  an  investigation  by  the 
Commission. 

Investigations  have  been  completed  and  hearings  held  by  the  Commis- 
sion. A  decision  will  be  made  in  the  near  future. 


On  Water  Powers  to  the  Legislature  13 

Approval  of  Plans, 

Burkhardt  Milling  &  Electric  Co.,  Willow  River, 

Burkhardt— March  1914 

Plans  were  submitted  for  a  reinforced  concrete  hollow  arch  dam,  to  be 
constructed  in  Willow  river,  to  replace  a  wooden  dam  located  some  distance 
upstream.  Plans  called  for  a  dam  forty  feet  in  height.  This  would  give  a 
working  head  at  the  power  plant  of  ninty-five  feet.  The  site  was  visited 
and  plans  examined  after  which  certain  specified  changes  were  recommended 
in  the  interest  of  safety  and  stability.  However,  as  the  company  failed  to 
make  application  for  a  franchise  as  required  by  law,  the  plans  were  not  ap- 
proved. Later  complaint  was  made  to  the  governor  by  riparian  owners  that 
the  stream  was  about  to  be  obstructed,  and  on  request  of  the  governor  an 
investigation  was  made  by  the  Commission  which  developed  the  fact  that 
the  stream  was  being  obstructed  by  the  construction  of  this  dam  without  a 
franchise,  whereupon  the  facts  of  the  case  were  laid  before  the  governor. 

Centralia  Pulp  and  Waterpower  Company,   South  Side  Dam, 
Grand  Rapids— April  1914 

The  dam  owned  and  operated  by  the  Centralia  Pulp  &  Waterpower 
Company  of  Grand  Rapids,  prior  to  its  reconstruction  was  a  timber  dam 
with  a  timber  crib  spillway.  It  is  located  about  two  miles  south  of  Grand 
Rapids  on  the  Wisconsin  river. 

Plans  for  a  new  dam  to  be  constructed  in  place  of  part  of  the  old  tim- 
ber structure  were  submitted  to  the  Railroad  Commission  for  approval.  The 
new  construction  is  a  reinforced  concrete  dam  thirteen  feet  in  height,  equip- 
ped with  eleven  electrically  operated  tainter  gates.  Plans  for  this  dam  were 
approved. 

Approval  of  Plans  for  Dam, 
Poynette  —  April  1914 

The  village  of  Poynette  submitted  for  the  approval  of  the  Commission 
plans  for  a  reinforced  concrete  dam  with  a  head  of  about  twelve  feet,  to 
create  a  pond,  to  be  used  for  park  purposes,  and  for  the  operation  of  a  grist 
mill.  These  plans  were  checked  and  certain  important  changes  recommended 
in  the  interest  of  stability  and  safety.  These  recommendations  having  been 
adopted  by  the  village,  the  plans  were  approved  and  the  dam  built  accord- 
ingly. The  masonry  construction  has  been  inspected  by  the  Commission, 
but  final  inspection  awaits  completion  of  the  earthen  embankments. 

Bench  marks  have  been  established  at  the  dam. 

Browntown  Dam,   Level  of  Water, 
Browntown  —  May  1914 

Under  petition  of  certain  riparian  owners  along  Skinner  creek  an  ivest- 
igation  was  made  of  the  flowage  conditions  above  the  Browntown  dam  in 
the  village  of  Browntown.  Skinner  creek  is  a  branch  of  the  Pecatonica 
river. 

It  was  alleged  by  the  petitioners  that  on  account  of  the  dam  being  main- 
tained at  an  unlawful  height,  large  tracts  of  land  are  flooded,  causing  ex- 
cessive damage  to  the  property  of  the  various  riparian  owners  aforemen- 
tioned. 


14  Railroad  Commission  Report 

The  investigation  consisted  of  a  survey  of  the  dam  to  determine  the 
head  maintained,  and  also  a  survey  of  the  pond  and  the  land  affected.  Sev- 
eral hearings  were  held  in  this  matter  after  which  additional  investigations 
were  found  necessary.  Another  hearing  is  requested  by  the  petitioners. 

Greenwood  Dam,  Washout, 
Black  River  —  June  1914 

An  investigation  was  made  of  flood  conditions  on  the  Black  river  at 
Black  River  Falls  and  above,  which  caused  the  failure  of  the  Greenwood  and 
Hemlock  dams.  Recommendations  were  made  in  the  interest  of  safety  and 
stability  which  should  be  followed  when  these  dams  are  rebuilt. 

Shoto  Dam,   Washout,  West  Twin  River, 
Manitowoc  County  —  June  1914 

Upon  petition  by  the  town  board  of  the  town  of  Shoto,  the  Commission 
held  a  hearing  and  investigated  the  conditions  surrounding  the  failure  of 
this  dam  which  occurred  in  June,  1914. 

If  this  dam  is  rebuilt  the  Commission  will  probably  require  that  plans 
be  submitted  for  approval.  They  will  then  be  investigated  for  stability  and 
flood  flow  capacity. 

Wisconsin-Minnesota  Light  &  Power  Co., 
Levels  to  be  Maintained  in  Bear  Lake, 
Haugen  —  July  1914 

Bear  Lake  is  located  in  Barren  and  Washburn  counties.  A  dam  is 
being  maintained  at  the  outlet  of  this  lake  for  the  purpose  of  creating  stor- 
age for  regulating  the  flow  of  water  in  the  Chippewa  river. 

It  is  alleged  by  certain  land  owners  along  the  shores  of  Bear  Lake  and 
others  interested  in  the  matter  that  this  dam  is  at  the  present  time  being 
maintained  at  an  unlawful  height  and  .the  petitioners  request  that  the  Com- 
mission investigate  the  matter  and  determine  if  such  dam  is  causing  serious 
damage  to  property  abutting  on  the  lake,  and  also  if  said  dam  is  being  main- 
tained at  an  unlawful  height. 

A  hearing  was  held  in  this  matter  by  the  Railroad  Commission  in  the 
city  of  Rice  Lake,  but  the  investigation  is  not  yet  complete. 

Grantsburg  Dam, 

Application  for  Franchise,  July  1914 

Upon  application  of  Francis  S.  Stewart  et  al.  to  erect  a  dam  on  Wood 
river  in  Burnett  county  to  operate  a  paint  factory,  an  investigation  was 
made. 

Objection  was  raised  by  certain  residents  of  Grantsburg  to  allowing  the 
Stewart  people  to  build  a  dam,  as  it  would  destroy  a  dam  site  owned  by  the 
village. 

All  necessary  investigations  have  been  completed  but  the  franchise  is 
being  withheld,  pending  the  outcome  of  negotiations  between  the  village  of 
Grantsburg  and  Mr.  Stewart. 


On  Water  Powers  to  the  Legislature  15 

Level  of  Water  on  Long  Lake, 

Town  of  Long  Lake,   Washburn  County  —  July  1914 

Application  was  made  by  the  Long  Lake  Improvement  Association  for 
a  charter  to  maintain  a  dam  at  the  outlet  of  Long  Lake,  in  the  town  of 
Long  Lake,  in  Washburn  county,  and  the  Commission  petitioned  to  estab- 
lish a  high  and  low  water  limit  to  be  maintained  in  this  lake.  An  investi- 
gation was  made  and  a  hearing  held  by  the  Commission  relative  to  this  mat- 
ter. A  decision  will  be  made  in  the  near  future. 

Level  of  Water  in  Lake  Wingra, 
City  of  Madison  —  August  1914 

Complaint  was  received  by  the  Commission  that  the  level  of  water  in 
Lake  Wingra  had  been  lowered,  due  to  certain  dredging  operations.  Sur- 
veys and  investigations  appear  to  indicate  that  the  lake  on  October  17,  1914, 
was  2.26  feet  lower  than  in  the  summer  of  1905,  when  the  elevation  was 
taken  by  the  United  States  Geological  Survey.  This  was  before  dredging 
was  done.  Further  investigations  show  that  the  creek  leading  from  Lake 
Wingra  to  Lake  Monona  has  been  dredged  deeper,  and  that  in  order  to 
maintain  the  original  level  of  the  water  in  Lake  Wingra,  a  lock  was  built. 
The  low  level  of  the  lake  was  found  to  be  largely  due  to  the  leaky  condition 
of  this  lock. 

Level  of  Water  in  Fisher  Lake, 

Turtle  River,  Near  Mercer  —  August  1914 

Upon  petition  by  the  state  forester  an  investigation  was  made  to  deter- 
mine the  extent  of  the  damages  to  state  and  other  lands  resulting  from  back- 
water caused  by  the  maintenance  of  the  Fisher  Lake  dam.  This  dam  is 
located  on  Turtle  river  in  the  town  of  Presque  Isle,  about  eight  miles  north- 
east of  Mercer.  It  is  used  to  create  a  pond  from  which  logs  are  loaded  on 
flat  cars.  The  investigation  included  an  examination  of  the  shoreline  con- 
ditions of  Fisher  Lake,  Turtle  river  between  Fisher  Lake  and  the  dam,  and 
the  islands  in  Fisher  Lake.  A  hearing  was  held  before  the  Commission  but 
no  final  disposition  of  the  case  was  made. 

Beloit  Water  Power  Company, 

Level  of  Water  in  Rock  River  —  August  1914 

On  petition  of  certain  riparian  owners  on  the  Rock  river  above  the  dam 
of  the  Beloit  Water  Power  Company,  an  investigation  was  made  by  the 
Commission.  It  was  alleged  by  the  petitioners  that  said  dam  was  being 
maintained  at  an  unlawful  height  and  should  be  lowered  so  as  to  cause  less 
damage  to  land  farther  upstream.  A  hearing  was  held  and  investigations 
made,  but  a  decision  has  not  yet  been  reached. 

Jackson  Milling  Company  Dam,  Flowage, 
Stevens  Point  —  September  1914 

On  petition  of  certain  riparian  owners  along  the  Wisconsin  river,  a  hear- 
ing was  held  by  the  Railroad  Commission  relative  to  flowage  conditions  on 
the  Wisconsin  river  above  the  Jackson  Milling  Company's  dam  in  the  city 
of  Stevens  Point,  and  the  head  to  be  maintained  at  said  dam.  The  necessary 
investigations  have  not  yet  been  completed. 

Bench  marks  have  been  established  near  the  dam. 


16  Railroad  Commission  Report 

Wisconsin  River  Power  Company, 
Prairie  du  Sac  —  October  1914 

The  Wisconsin  River  Power  Company  has  about  completed  the  con- 
struction of  a  dam  on  the  Wisconsin  river  at  Prairie  du  Sac.  This  dam  is 
a  reinforced  concrete  dam,  about  1,000  feet  long,  equipped  with  a  lock  and 
supplied  with  tainter  gates.  A  charter  was  granted  by  the  legislature  to 
maintain  a  dam  at  this  place.  Application  was  made  to  the  Commission  to 
have  the  restrictions  to  height  removed  and  new  limitations  placed  upon  the 
height  of  the  head  to  be  maintained  at  this  dam. 

A  hearing  was  held  by  the  Railroad  Commission,  but  as  further  inves- 
tigation may  be  necessary,  no  decision  has  been  made. 

Approval  of  Plans, 

Jackson  Milling  Company  Dam, 

Stevens  Point  —  November  1914 

Plans  were  submitted  to  the  Railroad  Commission  for  proposed  repairs 
on  the  old  dam  of  the  Jackson  Milling  Company,  located  on  the  Wisconsin 
river,  in  the  city  of  Stevens  Point.  These  plans  contemplated  the  replacing 
of  a  certain  portion  of  the  old  dam  by  a  new  timber  structure. 

The  plans  were  checked  and  approved  by  the  Commission. 


INVESTIGATION  OF  EXISTING  DAMS 

Pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  par.  3,  sec.  1596-51,  an 
investigation  has  been  made  of  a  large  number  of  exist- 
ing dams.  The  state  is  divided  into  five  drainage  basins: 
the  Mississippi  river  basin,  the  Wisconsin  river  basin,  the 
Lake  Superior  basin,  the  Lake  Michigan  basin  and  the 
Rock  River  basin.  The  territory  embraced  in  each  basin 
is  shown  on  the  map  published  later  in  this  report.  The 
territory  embraced  in  each  basin  is  that  which  drains  into 
the  river  or  lake  represented  in  the  name  of  the  respective 
districts. 

The  field  work  connected  with  the  examination  of  dams 
has  been  practically  completed  in  three  of  the  basins; 
namely,  the  Mississippi  river  basin,  the  Wisconsin  river 
basin  and  the  Lake  Superior  basin;  also  Milwaukee  county 
in  the  Lake  Michigan  basin  and  Waukesha  county  in  the 
Rock  river  basin.  With  the  limited  amount  of  time  avail- 
able it  was  not  found  practicable  to  complete  this  investi- 
gation in  the  remaining  basins. 

The  actual  work  of  investigating  these  dams  consists 
largely  of  an  investigation  along  the  following  lines:  iden- 
tification, historical  record,  descriptive,  constructive  and 
operative  features.  Forms  were  prepared  to  be  used  by 


On  Water  Powers  to  the  Legislature  17 

the  investigators  for  the  purpose  of  outlining  the  informa- 
tion desired  to  be  obtained  in  connection  with  each  dam. 
A  copy  of  these  blanks  is  attached  to  this  report  in  an 
Appendix.  In  addition  to  the  information  thus  obtained 
a  general  sketch  was  made  of  each  dam  with  typical 
cross-sections  through  the  spillway,  gates,  flumes,  retain- 
ing walls,  etc.  Photographs  were  taken  in  most  cases  to 
show  general  and  special  features.  Special  attention  was 
given  to  any  dam  or  any  feature  of  a  dam  which  appeared 
to  indicate  inadequacy  or  structural  weakness.  Supple- 
menting the  field  investigations,  research  was  made  to  de- 
termine or  to  verify  the  permits  under  which  each  dam  is 
being  operated. 

Following  is  a  complete  list  of  the  dams  investigated  in 
the  three  districts  above  named,  also  -all  dams  in  Milwau- 
kee and  Waukesha  counties;  sufficient  information  being 
given  in  each  case  for  general  purposes  and  the  neces- 
sary reference  to  enable  anyone  interested  to  obtain  all  de- 
tails which  may  be  desired.  This  list  is  arranged  by  coun- 
ties in  alphabetical  order  and  the  dams  in  each  county  are 
arranged  alphabetically  with  respect  to  the  local  name  of 
the  dam.  Under  the  heading  of  "charter  recorded,"  in  these 
tables,  the  notation  "none  found"  does  not  necessarily  in- 
dicate that  the  dam  is  being  operated  without  a  permit 
as  it  may  have  been  constructed  under  the  general  mill 
dam  act  of  1840,  but  in  these  cases  no  information  has 
been  found  on  the  subject.

62  Railroad  Commission  Report 


INVESTIGATION  OF  PERMITS 


In  the  course  of  investigating  the  permits  under  which  dams 
already  investigated  are  being  operated  it  was  found  necessary 
to  make  a  list  of  all  permits  which  had  been  granted  by  legis- 
lative act.  Consequently,  such  a  list  was  prepared  of  all  fran- 
chises and  permits  granted  by  the  legislature  since  the  organi- 
zation of  the  territory  of  Wisconsin  and  also  during  the  period 
when  Wisconsin  was  a  part  of  the  territory  of  Michigan. 

This  list  of  permits  is  attached  hereto,  arranged  alphabetically 
by  counties  (except  that  following  this  list  by  counties  is  a  sup- 
plementary list  including  a  number  of  permits  which  could  not 
be  included  in  the  county  list)  with  the  permits  in  each  county 
arranged  chronologically.  In  each  case  there  is  given  the  citation 
of  the  law  granting  the  charter,  location  for  which  the  charter 
was  granted,  the  river,  name  of  grantee,  length  of  duration  of 
grant,  purpose  of  grant  and  remarks  covering  special  features 
relative  thereto. 

There  are  given  in  all  770  permits  to  construct  dams,  of  which 
250  are  for  power  and  hydraulic  purposes,  160  for  logging  and 
to  facilitate  logging,  54  for  hydraulic  and  improvement  of  navi- 
gation, 49  for  log  driving  and  hydraulic  purposes,  36  for  improve- 
ment and  navigation  and  log  driving,  35  for  improvement  of 
navigation  and  186  for  other  purposes  viz:  to  feed  canals,  for 
pisciculture,  to  create  ponds,  to  flow  cranberry  marshes,  for 
general  municipal  purposes,  for  the  "public  good,'  and  also 
grants  in  which  no  purpose  was  specified. 

Besides  these  770  permits  for  the  construction  and  maintenance 
of  dams,  there  are  130  miscellaneous  or  special  acts  of  the  legis- 
lature. These  acts  do  not  refer  to  any  special  dam  or  location, 
but  pertain  in  a  general  way  to  all  dams,  or  rivers,  or  to  conditions 
on  a  certain  river.

B — TYPICAL  GAGING  STATION  FOR  WADING  MEASURMENTS 


On  Water  Powers  to  the  Legislature  207 


PART  II 
HYDROMETRIC   INVESTIGATIONS 

Paragraph  3  of  Section  1596-53  reads  as  follows: 

"The  commission  shall  establish  and  maintain  gaging 
stations  upon  the  various  navigable  waters  of  the  state 
and  shall  take  such  other  steps  as  may  be  necessary  for 
the  purpose  of  determining  the  characteristics  of  such 
waters,  and  maintaining  records  of  the  same." 

Pursuant  to  this  section  the  hydrometric  investigation, 
or  stream  gaging  work,  in  this  state  has  been  carried  on 
by  the  Railroad  Commission  in  cooperation  with  the 
Water  Resources  Branch  of  the  United  States  Geological 
Survey.  The  total  expenditures  for  this  investigation  in 
Wisconsin,  from  July  1,  1913,  to  September  30,  1914,  were 
$12,842.35.  Of  this  amount  $9,492.55  was  furnished  by 
the  Railroad  Commission,  $2,413.23  by- the  Water  Re- 
sources Branch  of  the  United  States  Geological  Survey, 
and  $936.57  by  the  United  States  Indian  Service.  The 
appropriation  from  the  Indian  Service  was:  for  the  main- 
tenance of  stream  gaging  stations  in  the  Menominee  In- 
dian Reservation  on  the  Wolf  river  at  Keshena  and  on  the 
west  branch  of  the  Wolf  river  at  Neopit  for  which  $339.41 
was  expended;  and  for  the  construction  and  maintenance 
in  the  La  Pointe  Indian  Reservation  of  a  gaging  station 
on  the  Bad  river  near  Odanah,  Wis.,  for  which  $597.16 
was  expended. 

Not  included  in  the  above  total  is  the  amount  spent  by 
private  engineers,  power  companies,  the  United  States 
Weather  Bureau,  and  the  United  States  Army  Engineer 
Corps,  in  cooperation  with  the  Railroad  Commission 
and  the  United  States  Geological  Survey,  for  the  installa- 
tion and  maintenance  of  stream  gaging  stations.  The  na- 
ture, extent  and  source  of  cooperation  received  is  given 
below. 

The  Wisconsin  Valley  Improvement  Company  furnishes 
weekly  precipitation  records  compiled  from  data  obtained 
at  several  meteorological  stations  maintained  by  the  United 
States  Weather  Bureau  on  the  upper  Wisconsin  drainage 
basin.  This  company  has  also  contributed  $240.72  toward 
the  total  cost  of  the  installation  of  an  automatic  gage  on 


208  Railroad  Commission  Report 

the  Wisconsin  river  at  Merrill,  and  an  automatic  gage  and 
cable-car  equipment  for  making  flow  measurements  on  the 
Wisconsin  river  at  Nekoosa. 

The  Wisconsin  Public  Service  Company  has  installed, 
at  a  cost  of  about  $200.00,  a  Barrett  &  Lawrence  auto- 
matic gage  on  the  Peshtigo  river  below  their  dam  at  High 
Falls,  and  is  furnishing  the  charts  from  the  gage  from 
which  the  average  daily  stage  of  the  river  can  be  ob- 
tained. They  have  also  furnished  labor  and  supplies  for 
the  erection  of  a  cable  and  car  equipment  across  the  Pesh- 
tigo river  below  the  gage,  to  be  used  for  measuring  the 
flow  and  determining  a  rating  for  the  gage. 

The  Wisconsin-Minnesota  Light  &  Power  Company  has 
installed,  at  a  cost  of  about  $300.00,  a  Barrrett  &  Lawl 
rence  gage  on  the  Red  Cedar  river  near  Menomonie  and 
furnishes  the  weekly  charts  from  the  gage.  In  January! 
1914,  the  Railroad  Commission  installed  a  Friez  auto- 
matic gage  on  the  Chippewa  river  at  the  highway  bridge 
at  Chippewa  Falls.  The  Wisconsin-Minnesota  Light  & 
Power  Company  contributed  about  $75.00  towards  the 
cost  of  this  installation.  This  company  also  furnishes  a 
man  to  change  the  sheets  on  the  automatic  gage  and  pays 
gage  reader  at  a  station  on  the  Red  Cedar  river  near  Colfax. 

The  Chippewa  and  Flambeau  Improvement  Company  pays 
observers  at  the  two  stations  on  upper  Chippewa  river. 

Daily  discharge  from  the  dam  and  power  house  records 
are  furnished  by  the  Minneapolis  General  Electric  Com- 
pany for  the  St.  Croix  river  near  St.  Croix  Falls;  by  the 
St.  Paul  Gas  Light  Company  for  the  Apple  river  near 
Somerset,  Wis.;  and  by  the  Menominee  &  Marinette  Light 
&  Traction  Company  for  Menominee  river  below  Koss, 
Mich. 

The  United  States  Army  Engineers  are  furnishing  daily 
gage  heights  for  the  Wolf  river  at  New  London  and  are 
also  furnishing  daily  discharge  for  the  Fox  river  at  Rapide 
Croche  dam. 

The  United  States  Weather  Bureau  sends  monthly  me- 
teorological, climatological  and  snow  and  ice  bulletins, 
which  are  of  assistance  in  computing  the  discharge  for 
the  stream  gaging  stations  in  the  state.  River  and  rain 
gages  are  being  maintained  on  the  upper  Wisconsin  river 
at  Rhinelander,  Merrill,  Wausau  and  Knowlton,  and  a 


On  Water  Powers  to  the  Legislature  !2()(.) 

daily  river  bulletin  is  sent  by  A.  A.  Babcock,  official  in 
charge  at  Wausau,  which  shows  the  river  stage  and  pre- 
cipitation during  the  preceding  twenty-four  hours.  When 
heavy  rains  occur  at  any  of  the  weather  bureau  precipi- 
tation stations,  telegrams  are  sent  so  that  the  Railroad 
Commission  engineers  can  start  immediately  into  the  field 
and  make  high  water  measurements  on  the  rivers  affected. 
The  work  of  the  stream  gaging  department  is  carried 
on  by  two  engineers  of  the  United  States  Geological  Sur- 
vey and  two  engineers  of  the  engineering  department  of 
the  Railroad  Commission.  By  this  force,  and  with  sug- 
gestions from  the  Washington  office  of  the  United  States 
Geological  Survey,  are  made  all  reconnaisance  for  and  the 
installation  of  stream  gaging  stations;  all  measurements  of 
flow  and  the  compilation  of  statistics  and  data  and  re- 
ports pertaining  to  hydrometric  work.  In  addition  to  the 
above  force  there  are  thirty-one  men  who  are  employed 
as  gage  readers.  Their  work  consists  -of  making  daily 
readings  of  the  river  gage,  recording  the  gage  heights  and 
remarks  as  to  weather  and  river  conditions  in  a  book 
which  is  sent  to  Madison  every  three  months  and  on  a 
card  which  is  sent  every  week.  During  the  open  water 
period  at  stations  where  the  distance  of  the  observer  from 
the  gage  is  less  than  half  a  mile  two  readings  per  day  of 
the  gage  are  made  by  the  observer,  and  where  further  than 
a  half  mile,  one  reading.  With  two  or  three  exceptions 
the  observers  have  less  than  half  a  mile  to  go  and  make 
two  daily  readings.  After  ice  forms  in  the  river  the  ob- 
servers make  one  reading  per  day,  or  two,  three,  or  four 
readings  a  week  in  special  cases.  But  in  addition  they 
record  the  high  and  low  temperatures  for  the  day.  For 
their  services  the  gage  readers  receive  from  this  depart- 
ment a  compensation  of  $5.00  per  month.  At  ten  sta- 
tions the  services  of  a  gage  reader  are  furnished  or  are  paid 
for  by  private  engineers  or  power  companies,  and  at  three 
stations  by  the  Indian  service.

basins  forming  the  units  of  publication.  The  streams  of 
Wisconsin  belong  to  two  of  the  major  drainage  basins,  the 
St.  Lawrence  river  basin,  forming  PART  IV  of  the  Sur- 
vey's classification  system,  and  the  Hudson  Bay  and  up- 
per Mississippi  river  basins,  forming  PART  V. 

The  St.  Lawrence  river  basin  includes  streams  flowing 
into  the  Great  Lakes  and  St.  Lawrence  river.  The  prin- 
cipal streams  in  Wisconsin  belonging  to  this  system  dis- 
charge into  Lake  Superior  and  Lake  Michigan  and  in- 
clude Aminicon,  Brule,  and  Bad  rivers,  discharging  into 
Lake  Superior,  and  Menominee,  Peshtigo,  Oconto,  Fox 
and  Milwaukee  rivers,  discharging  into  Lake  Michigan. 
The  reports  presenting  results  for  PART  IV  are  shown  by

In  the  tables  of  gaging  stations  the  description  of  each 
station  indicates  under  "Records  available"  the  number  of 
the  water  supply  paper  in  which  the  data  have  been  pre- 
viously published.  If  the  records  published  in  this  report 
differ  from  those  published  in  the  water  supply  papers, 
proper  foot  notes,  giving  reasons,  have  been  appended  to 
the  tables. 

The  order  of  treatment  of  stations  in  this  report  is 
downstream.  All  stations  from  the  source  to  the  mouth 
of  the  main  stem  of  the  river  are  presented  first  and  then 
the  tributaries  are  taken  up  in  regular  order  from  source 
to  mouth.  The  tributaries  are  treated  like  the  main 
stream,  all  stations  in  each  tributary  basin  being  given 
before  those  in  the  one  next  below. 

In  the  execution  of  the  work  many  private  parties  have 
cooperated  with  the  official  organizations,  either  by  fur- 
nishing records  or  by  assisting  in  collecting  data.  Ac- 
knowledgment for  such  cooperation  is  made  in  connec- 
tion with  the  description  of  each  station  affected. 

COLLECTION  OF  STREAM  FLOW  DATA 

During  the  period  covered  by  this  report  71  gaging  sta- 
tions have  been  installed  or  taken  over  for  operation  at 
various  locations  throughout  the  state,  as  shown  on  the 
map  attached,  page  222,  and  in  the  list  of  stations  on 
pages  223  and  224.  A  complete  description  of  each

station,  together  with  its  method  of  operation  and  the 
original  data  relating  thereto,  as  well  as  that  at  the  pres- 
ent being  collected,  will  be  found  on  page  226  and  follow- 
ing pages. 

These  stations  are  arranged  in  the  order  shown  in  the 
list  on  pages  223  and  224. 

Definition   of  Trrnis 

For  the  purpose  of  more  completely  understanding  the 
tables  herein  referred  to,  the  following  definitions  of  terms 
are  given: 

The  volume  of  water  flowing  in  a  stream — the  "run-off" 
or  "discharge"-— is  expressed  in  various  terms,  each  of 
which  has  become  associated  with  a  certain  class  of  work. 
These  terms  may  be  divided  into  two  groups — (1)  those 
which  represent  a  rate  of  flow,  as  second-feet,  gallons  per 
minute,  miner's  inches,  and  discharge  in  -second-feet  per 
square  mile,  and  (2)  those  which  represent  the  actual 
quantity  of  water,  as  run-off  (depth  in  inches),  acre-feet, 
and  millions  of  cubic  feet.  The  units  used  in  this  report 
are  second-foot,  second-feet  per  square  mile,  and  run-off 
in  inches.  They  may  be  defined  as  follows: 

"Second-foot"  is  an  abbreviation  for  "cubic  foot  per 
second"  and  is  a  unit  for  the  rate  of  discharge  of  water 
flowing  in  a  stream.  A  second-foot  is  the  rate  of  discharge 
of  water  flowing  in  a  channel  of  rectangular  cross  section 
1  foot  wide  and  1  foot  deep  at  an  average  velocity  of  1 
foot  a  second.  It  is  generally  used  as  a  fundamental  unit 
from  which  others  are  computed  by  the  use  of  the  factors 
given  in  the  tables  of  convenient  equivalents  (p.  214). 

"Second-feet  per  square  mile"  is  the  average  number  of 
cubic  feet  of  water  flowing  per  second  from  each  square 
mile  of  area  drained,  on  the  assumption  that  the  run-off 
is  distributed  uniformly  both  as  regards  time  and  area. 

"Run-off  (depth  in  inches)"  is  the  depth  to  which  the 
drainage  area  would  be  covered  if  all  the  water  flowing  from 
it  in  a  given  period  were  conserved  and  uniformly  dis- 
tributed on  the  surface.  It  is  used  for  comparing  run-off 
with  rainfall,  which  is  usually  expressed  in  depth  in  inches. 

The  following  terms  used  in  this  report  are  not  in  com- 
mon use,  and  may  be  defined  as  follows: 

"Control,"  "controlling  section,"  and  "point  of  control" 
are  terms  used  to  designate  that  cross  section  of  the 


214 


Railroad  Commission  Report 


stream  below  the  gage  which  controls  or  regulates  the 
height  of  the  water  surface  at  the  gage.  It  should  be 
noted  that  the  control  may  not  be  the  same  cross  section 
at  all  stages. 

"Discharge  relation"  is  an  abbreviation  for  the  term  "re- 
lation of  gage  height  to  discharge." 

The  "point  of  zero  flow"  for  a  given  gaging  station  is 
that  point  on  the  gage — the  gage  height — to  which  the 
surface  of  the  river  would  fall  if  there  were  no  flow.

Explanation  of  Data 

The  data  presented  in  this  report  cover  the  year  begin- 
ning October  1,  and  ending  September  30,  and  not  as  has 
been  published  in  the  water-supply  papers  relating  to  Wis- 
consin streams,  the  calendar  year.  At  the  first  of  January 
in  Wisconsin  a  large  amount  of  precipitation  for  the  pre- 
ceding three  months  is  stored,  either  as  ground  water  in 
the  form  of  snow,  or  in  lakes.  This  stored  water  passes 
off  in  the  streams  during  the  Spring  break-up.  At  the  end 
of  September  the  only  stored  water  available  for  run-off 
in  the  streams  is  possibly  a  small  amount  held  in  ground 
storage.  Therefore,  the  run-off  for  a  year,  beginning  with 
October  first,  is  practically  all  derived  from  precipitation 
occurring  within  that  year. 

For  each  regular  current-meter  gaging  station  the  fol- 
lowing data,  so  far  as  available,  are  given:  Description  of 
the  station,  list  of  discharge  measurements,  table  of  daily 
gage  height,  table  of  daily  discharge,  table  of  monthly  and 
yearly  discharge  and  run-off.  For  stations  located  at  dams 
or  for  those  for  which  the  data  have  been  published  in  water- 
supply  papers  the  gage  height  table  is  omitted. 


On  Water  Powers  to  the  Legislature  217 

In  addition  to  statements  regarding  the  location  and  in- 
stallation of  current-meter  stations,  the  descriptions  give 
information  in  regard  to  any  conditions  that  may  affect 
the  constancy  of  the  relation  of  gage  height  and  discharge 
—the  discharge  relation — covering  such  points  as  ice,  log- 
ging, shifting  channels,  and  backwater.  Statements  are 
also  made  regarding  the  accuracy  of  the  data. 

The  table  of  daily  gage  height  shows  the  daily  fluctua- 
tions of  the  surface  of  the  river  as  found  from  the  mean 
of  the  gage  readings  taken  each  day,  usually  in  the  morn- 
ing and  in  the  evening,  though  at  a  very  few  stations  only 
one  reading  is  made  each  day.  At  a  comparatively  few 
stations  (Red  Cedar  at  Menomonie,  Chippewa  at  Ghip- 
pewa  Falls,  Wisconsin  at  Merrill,  Wisconsin  at  Nekoosa, 
Peshtigo  at  High  Falls)  automatic  gages  are  used  which 
give  a  continuous  record  of  river  stage  in  the  form  of  a 
hydrograph,  and  at  the  station  on  the  Bad  river  near 
Odanah  a  record  printed  at  regular  intervals  from  which 
the  mean  daily  gage  height  can  be  computed. 

The  gage  height  given  in  the  table  represents  the  ele- 
vation of  the  surface  of  the  water  above  the  zero  of  the 
gage.  All  gage  heights  affected  by  the  presence  of  ice  in 
the  streams  or  by  backwater  from  obstructions  are  pub- 
lished as  recorded, with  suitable  footnotes.  The  rating 
table  is  not  applicable  for  such  periods  unless  the  proper 
corrections  to  the  gage  heights  are  known  and  applied.  At- 
tention is  called  to  the  fact  that  the  zero  of  the  gage  is 
placed  at  an  arbitrary  datum  and  has  no  relation  to  zero 
flow  or  the  bottom  of  the  river.  In  general  the  zero  is  lo- 
cated somewhat  below  the  lowest  known  flow,  so  that  neg- 
ative readings  shall  not  occur. 

In  the  tables  of  daily  gage  height  the  use  of  zeros  in  the 
hundredths  place  indicates  the  limits  of  accuracy  to  which 
the  gage  was  read  and  to  which  the  mean  daily 
gage  heighth  was  computed.  If  a  gage  is  read  to 
tenths  or  half  tenths  once  a  day  or  to  tenths  twice  a  day, 
no  zeros  appear  in  the  hundredths  place  for  any  stage.  If 
the  gage  is  read  to  half  tenths  twice  a  day  or  to  quarter 
tenths  or  hundredths,  regardless  of  the  number  of  read- 
ings a  day,  the  gage  heights  are  published  to  hundredths, 
and  zeros  appear  in  the  hundredths  place,  below  a  certain 
limiting  stage.  This  limiting  stage  is  so  selected  that  the 
average  error  in  the  mean  daily  discharge,  resulting  from

nol  using  Hie  mean  daily  mngi'  hi'ighl  to  hundredlhs  above 
that  stage,  shall  not  be  greater  than  2  per  cent.  For  au- 
tomatic gages  the  allowable  average  error  of  the  daily  dis- 
charge has  been  taken  as  1  per  cent.  The  selection  of  the 
percentage  is  arbitrary,  but  it  should  be  noted  that  the  max- 
imum error  will  in  all  cases  be  twice  the  average  error.  In 
like  manner  half  tenths  are  used  from  the  hundredths 
limit  to  another  higher  limit,  above  which  only  tenths  are 
used.  It  is  the  aim  to  have  the  gage  height  observations 
at  each  gaging  station  recorded  to  the  degree  of  refine- 
ment required  by  the  above  method  of  use,  but  in  prac- 
tice it  is  found  necessary,  in  order  to  avoid  confusion  in 
the  gage  observer's  record,  to  have  the  observations  for 
all  stages  recorded  to  the  degree  of  refinement  required  for 
low  stages,  which  usually  necessitates  readings  to  hun- 
dredths of  a  foot. 

The  discharge  measurements  and  gage  heights  are  the 
base  data  from  which  rating  tables,  daily  discharge  tables 
and  monthly  discharge  tables  are  computed. 

The  rating  table  gives,  either  directly  or  by  interpola- 
tion, the  discharge  in  second-feet  corresponding  to  every 
stage  of  the  river  recorded  during  the  period  for  which  it 
is  applicable.  It  is  not  published  in  this  report,  but  can 
be  determined  from  the  tables  of  daily  gage  heights 
and  daily  discharge  by  plotting  gage  heights  in  feet  as  ordi- 
nates  and  discharge  in  second-feet  as  abscissas. 

The  table  of  daily  discharge  determined  from  the  rating 
table  gives  the  discharge  in  second-feet  corresponding  to 
the  mean  of  the  gage  readings  observed  each  day. 

In  the  table  of  monthly  discharge  the  column  headed 
"Maximum"  gives  the  mean  flow,  as  determined  from  the 
rating  table,  for  the  day  when  the  mean  gage  heights  was 
highest.  As  the  gage  height  is  the  mean  for  the  day,  it 
does  not  indicate  correctly  the  stage  when  the  surface 
water  was  at  crest  height  and  the  corresponding  discharge 
was  consequently  larger  than  given  in  the  maximum  col- 
umn. Likewise  in  the  column  at  "Minimum"  the  quan- 
tity given  is  the  mean  flow  for  the  day  when  the  mean 
mage  height  was  lowest.  The  column  headed  "Mean"  is 
the  average  flow  in  cubic  feet  for  each  second  during  the 
month.  On  this  the  computations  for  the  remaining  col- 
umns, which  are  defined  on  page  213,  are  based. 


220  Railroad  Commission  Report 

The  base  data  presented  in  this  report,  unless  other- 
wise stated  in  description  of  station,  have  been  collected 
by  the  methods  commonly  used  at  current-meter  gaging 
stations  and  described  in  standard  textbooks. 

Accuracy   of  Field    Data   and    Computed    Results 

The  accuracy  of  stream-flow  data  depends  (1)  on  the 
permanence  of  the  relation  between  discharge  and  stage, 
and  (2)  on  the  accuracy  of  observation  of  stage,  measure- 
ments of  flow,  and  interpretation  of  the  data. 

In  order  to  give  engineers  and  others  information  re- 
garding the  probable  accuracy  of  the  computed  results, 
foot  notes  are  added  to  the  daily  discharge  tables,  stat- 
ing the  probable  accuracy  of  the  rating  tables  used,  and  an 
accuracy  column  is  inserted  in  the  monthly  discharge 
table.  For  the  rating  tables,  "well-defined"  indicates,  in 
general,  that  the  rating  is  probably  accurate  within  5  per 
cent;  "fairly  well  defined,"  within  10  per  cent;  "poorly 
defined"  or  "approximate,"  within  15  to  25  per  cent. 
These  notes  are  very  general  and  are  based  on  the  plot- 
ting of  the  individual  measurements  with  reference  to  the 
mean  rating  curve. 

The  accuracy  column  in  the  monthly  discharge  table 
does  not  apply  to  the  maximum  or  minimum  nor  to  any 
individual  day,  but  to  the  monthly  mean.  It  is  based  on 
the  accuracy  of  the  rating  curve,  the  probable  reliability  of 
the  observer,  the  number  of  gage  readings  per  day,  the 
range  of  the  fluctuation  in  stage,  and  knowledge  of  local 
conditions.  In  this  column,  "A"  indicates  that  the  esti- 
mate of  mean  monthly  flow  is  probably  accurate  within 
5  per  cent;  "B,"  within  10  per  cent;  "C,"  within  15  per 
cent;  "D,"  within  25  per  cent.  Special  conditions  are  cov- 
ered by  footnotes. 

Even  though  the  monthly  means  for  any  station  may 
represent  with  a  high  degree  of  accuracy  the  quantity 
of  water  flowing  past  the  gage,  the  figures  showing  dis- 
charge per  square  mile  and  depth  of  run-off  in  inches  may 
be  subject  to  gross  errors,  which  result  from  including  in 
the  measured  drainage  area  large  noncontributing  districts 
or  omitting  estimates  of  water  diverted  for  irrigation  or 
other  use.  On  this  account  the  computations  of  "second- 
feet  per  square  mile"  and  "run-off  (depth  in  inches)" 
have  not  been  made  for  stations  draining  areas  for  which 


.    On  Water  Powers  to  the  Legislature  12121 

is  believed  that  the  computations  would  be  uncertain 
id  misleading  because  of  the  presence  of  large  noncon- 
-ibuting  districts  in  the  measured  drainage  area,  of  omitting 
itimates  of  water  diverted  for  irrigation  or  other  use, 
>r  of  artificial  control  or  unusual  natural  control  of  the  flow 
of  the  river  above  the  gaging  station.  All  values  of  "second- 
feet  per  square  mile"  and  "run-off  (depth  in  inches)"  pre- 
viously published  by  the  U.  S.  Geological  Survey  and  all 
such  values  in  this  report  should  be  used  with  extreme 
caution,  because  of  possible  inherent  sources  of  error  not 
known. 

The  base  data'  collected  each  year  are  published  to  af- 
ford any  engineer  the  means  of  examining  and  adjusting 
to  his  own  needs  the  results  of  the  computations.  The 
table  of  monthly  discharge  is  so  arranged  as  to  give  only 
a  general  idea  of  the  flow  at  the  station  and  should  not 
be  used  for  other  than  preliminary  estimates.  The  deter- 
minations of  daily  discharge  allow  mofe  detailed  studies 
of  the  variation  in  flow  by  which  the  period  of  deficiency 
may  be  determined. 

It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  observations  in  each 
succeeding  year  may  be  expected  to  throw  new  light  on 
data  already  collected  and  published,  and  the  engineer 
who  makes  use  of  the  figures  presented  in  this  report 
should  verify  all  ratings  and  make  such  adjustments  for 
earlier  years  as  may  seem  necessary.

STATION  RECORDS  I 

MISSISSIPPI  RIVER  BASIN 
ST.  CROIX  RIVER  AT  SWISS,  WIS. 

Location. —  A.t  highway  bridge  near  post  office  at  Swiss,  Wis.,  10  miles  north- 
east of  Danbury,  Minn.,  on  Minneapolis,  St.  Paul  &  Sault  Ste.  Marie 
Railway,  about  2  miles  above  point  where  St.  Croix  river  becomes  the 
boundary  line  between  Wisconsin  and  Minnesota.  Totogatic  river  enters 
from  left  about  3|  miles  above  station. 

Records  Available.— March  20  to  September  30,  1914. 
Drainage  Area. — 1550  square  miles. 

Gage. — Cast  iron  staff  gage  bolted  to  iron  girder  at  left  end  of  bridge;  read 
morning  and  evening  to  quarter-tenths;  limits  of  use:  hundreds  below 
1.0  foot,  half-tenths  between  1.0  and  2.0  feet,  and  tenths  above  2.0  feet. 

Control. — Gravel,  smooth;  grass  grows  in  channel  to  some  extent  during 
summer  months  and  causes  a  small  amount  of  backwater  at  the  gage. 

Discharge  Measurements. — Made  from  upstream  side  of  bridge. 

Winter  Flow. — Discharge  relation  affected  by  ice  which  forms  at  the  gage; 
estimates  on  measurements  made  through  the  ice. 

Regulation. — None. 

Accuracy. — Records  excellent  except  for  periods  during  which  grass  may 
grow  in  the  channel;  open-water  rating  curve  corrected  for  backwater 
from  grass  June  19  to  September  30;  maximum  correction  about  10  per 
cent.

NOTE.— Monthly  discharge  from  January,  1910, to  December,  1911,  differs  from  that  published  in  the  report  on  Water 
Resources  of  Minnesota,  by  the  State  Drainage  Commission,  on  account  of  using  only  three  significant  figures  in  the 
above  tables. 

NAMAKAGON    RIVER   AT   TREGO,    WIS. 

Location. — At   Chicago   &   North  Western  railway  bridge  at  Trego,   Wis.. 

about  20  miles  above  confluence  of  Namakagon  and  Totogatic  rivers. 
Records  available.— March  11  to  September  30,  1914. 
Drainage  area. — 481  square  miles. 
Gage. — Enameled  staff  fastened  to  retaining  wall,  left  bank  of  river,  just 

above  railroad  bridge;   read   once  daily  in  the  morning  to  quarter  tenths; 

limits  of  use:  hundredths  below  1.0  foot,  half  tenths  between  1.0  and 

2.5  feet,  and  tenths  above  2.5  feet. 
Control. — Heavy   gravel;   probably   permanent. 

Discharge   measurements. — Made  from   lower  chords   of   railroad    bridge. 
Winter  flow. — Discharge  relation  affected  by  ice;  estimates  of  flow  based 

on   discharge   measurements   made  through   ice. 

Regulation. — None.     Natural   storage   large;   yearly   fluctuation   small. 
Accuracy. — Rating   curve   well-defined,  records   excellent.

NOTE.— Discharge  relation  affected  by  ice  about  Mar.  21-27. 
R.R.-W.P.-16 


242  Railroad  Commission  Report 

APPLE  RIVER  NEAR  SOMERSET,  WIS. 

Location. — At  the  power  plant  of  the  St.  Croix  Power  Co.,  3 \  miles 
below  Somerset,  Wis.,  and  2  miles  above  the  mouth  of  the  river. 

Records  available. — January,  1901,  to  June  30,  1914,  estimate  of  monthly 
discharge;  July  12  to  September  30,  1914,  daily  discharge. 

Gage. — Vertical  staff;  not  used  in  determination  of  flow. 

Discharge. — The  discharge  of  the  turbines  in  second-feet  corresponding 
to  the  number  of  kilowatts  is  determined  for  each  hour  during  the 
day  from  a  record  of  the  number  of  wheels  in  operation  and  the 
load;  the  sum  of  the  discharges  divided  by  24  gives  the  average  dis- 
charge through  the  turbines.  To  this  quantity  is  added  the  leakage 
through  the  average,  number  of  wheels  idle  each  day,  the  sum  giving 
the  daily  flow  through  the  power  house.  Water  is  seldom  wasted  over 
the  spillway  of  the  dam,  but  when  it  is  so  wasted  the  quantity  is  com- 
puted from  weir  formulas  and  added  to  the  flow  through  the  plant. 
There  is  a  constant  leakage  through  the  gate  and  flash-boards  amount- 
ing to  about  3  second-feet.  This  quantity  has  not  been  taken  into 
consideration  in  computing  the  published  records. 

Regulation. — There  are  a  number  of  power  plants  on  the  Apple  River 
above  the  station.  The  pondage  at  these  plants  is  small,  and  though 
the  daily  flow  may  be  controlled  to  some  extent  the  mean  monthly 
flow  probably  corresponds  closely  to  the  natural  flow. 

Accuracy. — From  1901  to  1909  the  discharge  through  the  plant  was  deter- 
mined from  tables  computed  from  data  collected  at  tests  on  one  of 
the  turbines  made  at  the  flume  of  the  Holyoke  Water  Power  Co., 
Holyoke,  Mass.  During  the  summer  of  1909  engineers  of  the  St.  Croix 
Power  Co.  made  tests  on  the  water  flowing  through  all  the  wheels  as 
actually  installed,  by  means  of  a  sharp-crested  weir  710  inches  long 
located  about  60  feet  below  the  power  house.  These  tests  gave  results 
about  3  per  cent  larger  than  the  Holyoke  tests,  and  tables  based  on 
them  have  been  used  in  determining  the  discharge  through  the  plant 
from  1909  to  date.  During  June  1914  a  series  of  current  meter  meas- 
urements were  made  by  the  Wisconsin  Railroad  Commission  and  the 
United  States  Geol.  Survey,  and  a  rating  curve  for  the  tail  race  was  de- 
veloped. Twelve  tests  were  then  run  with  different  wheels  and  loads. 
It  was  found  that  the  discharge  as  determined  by  the  current  meter  and 
the  discharge  as  computed  by  the  company  agreed  very  closely,  the  per- 
centage difference  for  the  twelve  tests  ranging  from— 6.4  per  cent  to 
+  1.8  per  cent,  with  an  average  of  —2.0  per  cent;  the  discharge  as  deter- 
mined by  the  company  being  2  per  cent  less  than  that  determined  by 
the  current  meter. 

Cooperation. — Records  furnished  by  the  St.  Paul  Gas  Light  Co.,  of  St. 
Paul,  Mr.  Fred  A.  Otto,  superintendent.

CHIPPEWA  RIVER  NEAR  BRUCE,  WIS. 

it  ion. — At  the  Minneapolis,  St.  Paul  &  Sault  Ste  Marie  Railroad  br!dge» 
1    mile   east   of   Bruce,   Wis.     Thornapple   River  enters   from   the   right 
immediately  above  the  station  and  the  Flambeau  River  from  the  right 
about  21   miles  below. 
Records  available. — December  31,   1913,  to  September  30,   1914. 

Drainage   area. — 1,380   square   miles. 

Gage. — Chain  gage  attached  to  downstream  side  of  Minneapolis,  St.  Paul 
&  Sault  Ste  Marie  Railroad  bridge;  read  twice  daily,  morning  and  even- 
ing, to  quarter  tenths;  limits  of  use:  hundredths  below  3.0  feet,  half 
tenths  between  3.0  and  4.0  feet,  and  tenths  above  4.0  feet. 

Control. — Bed  of  river  hard  sand,  free  from  vegetation;  probably  shifts 
only  in  high  water. 

Discharge  measurements. — Made  from  downstream  side  of  bridge  to 
which  gage  is  attached. 

Winter  flow. — Discharge  relation  affected  by  ice  flow  determined  from 
discharge  measurements  made  through  the  ice. 

Regulation. — Practically  none;  no  large  power  plants  above  station,  and 
at  present  no  logging  operation  of  sufficient  magnitude  to  affect  flow 
of  river  at  this  point. 

Ac  curacy. — Records  excellent.

256  Railroad  Commission  Report 

CHIPPEWA  RIVER  AT  CHIPPEWA  FALLS,  WIS. 

Location. — At  the  highway  bridge  at  Chippewa  Falls,  Wis.,  2,500  feet 
below  the  mouth  of  Duncan  Creek  coming  in  from  the  right. 

Records  available. — June  22,  1888,  to  September  30,  1914.  Records  from 
1899  to  1912  published  also  in  Water-Supply  Papers  Nos.  207,  245, 
265,  285,  305,  and  325.  The  gage  was  originally  established  by  the 
Chippewa  Lumber  &  Boom  Co.,  which  has  kept  a  continuous  record 
since  1899.  Since  1904  the  United  States  Weather  Bureau  has  ob- 
tained gage  heights  during  the  flood  season  of  each  year.  On  June  1, 
1906,  the  United  States  Geological  Survey  began  making  discharge 
measurements  and  obtained  gage  heights  when  no  record  was  obtained 
by  the  Weather  Bureau.  The  gage  heights  as  they  have  been  pub- 
lished have  been  obtained  from  the  following  sources:  June  22,  1888, 
to  November  21,  1889,  from  certified  blue  print  copies  of  gage  heights 
as  kept  by  the  Chippewa  Lumber  &  Boom  Co.,  furnished  by  Fargo 
Engineering  Co.;  March  to  September,  1905,  1907,  and  1908,  United 
States  Weather  Bureau;  April  to  July,  1909,  Chippewa  Lumber  &  Boom 
Co.;  October  1  to  December  31,  1911,  United  States  Geological  Survey; 
January  to  June,  1912,  Chippewa  Lumber  &  Boom  Co.;  March  to  July, 
1912,  United  States  Weather  Bureau;  December,  1912,  Chippewa  Valley 
Railway,  Light  &  Power  Co.;  January  1,  1913,  to  date,  United  States 
Geological  Survey. 

Drainage   area. — 5,600   square   miles. 

Gage. — Friez  recording  water  stage  register,  installed  during  January,  1914, 
fastened  to  the  web  between  the  two  piers  supporting  first  right-hand 
span  and  about  10  feet  upstream  from  the  former  United  States  Weather 
Bureau  gage;  gage  referred  to  the  original  datum.  Prior  to  installation 
of  this  recording  gage  the  readings  were  taken  from  a  painted  staff 
gage  on  the  cylindrical  pier  at  the  right  end  of  bridge.  On  August 
19,  1913,  the  gage  was  found  in  error  by  the  following  amounts:

Error  has  probably  existed  since  the  gage  was  painted  on  the  pier, 
but  the  precise  date  can  not  be  determined.  It  should  be  noted  that 
any  error  in  the  gage  on  the  pier  enters  into  the  gage  heights  of  dis- 
charge measurements  as  well  as  the  daily  gage  heights. 

Control. — Probably  permanent. 

Discharge    measurements. — Made    from    downstream    side    of    bridge. 

Floods. — On  December  6,  1896,  the  river  reached  a  stage  of  26.03  feet; 
on  September  10,  1884,  a  stage  of  26.94  feet,  according  to  high-water 
marks  on  the  door  of  the  office  of  the  Chippewa  Lumber  &  Boom  Co. 

Winter  flow. — Discharge  relation  at  times  affected  by  ice;  the  flow  during 
such  periods  determined  by  discharge  measurements. 


On  Water  Powers  to  the  Legislature 


257 


;ulation. — Some  fluctuation  is  caused  by  the  operation  of  a  power 
plant  about  one-half  mile  above  the  dam.  The  greatest  fluctuation 
is,  however,  caused  by  the  operation  of  larger  plants  above,  notably 
the  Brunet  Falls  Manufacturing  Co.,  at  Cornell,  Wis. 
^curacy. — Records  for  1914  excellent;  those  for  previous  years,  owing  to 
fluctuations  in  stage,  possible  error  in  gage  datum,  and  little  super- 
vision of  gage  readings,  less  accurate,  but  as  the  discharge  relation 
is  permanent,  all  records  are  believed  to  be  at  least  good. 

operation. — The  Wisconsin  &  Minnesota  Light  &  Power  Co.  has  assisted 
in  the  installation  and  maintenance  of  the  recording  gage  installed 
during  January,  1914.  Note  other  cooperation  under  "Records  avail- 
able."

years.  All  discharges  below  1,300  second-feet  (gage  height  0.5  foot)  based  on  exten- 
sion of  rating  curve. 

Open-water  rating  curve  used  throughout  years  ending  Sept.  30,  1910  and  1911; 
published  discharges  for  January,  February  and  March  may  therefore  be  too  large. 
Discharge  estimated,  because  of  ice,  from  gage  heights,  observer's  notes,  discharge 
measurements,  and  climatologic  records,  as  follows:  Dec.  1  to  10,  1913,  6,100  second- 
feet;  Dec.  11  to  20,  2,800  second-feet;  Dec.  21  to  31,  1,700  second-feet;  Jan.  1  to  10, 
1,690  second-feet;  Jan.  11  to  20,  1914,  1,590  second-feet;  Jan.  21  to  31,.  1,850  second- 
feet;  Feb.  1  to  10,  1,920  second-feet;  Feb.  11  to  20,  1,580  second-feet;  Feb.  21  to  28, 
1,630  second-feet:  Mar.  1  to  10,  1,700  second-feet;  and  Mar.  11  to  22,  1,680  second-feet.

(a)  Open-water  rating  curve  applied  for  December,  1907;  discharge  probably  sdmewhat  too  high. 

(b)  Discharge  Jan.  1,  to  Feb.  24,  1908,  based  on  two  measurements  and  the  discharge  at  Chippewa  Falls. 

(c)  Open-channel  rating  applied  for  December,  1908;  discharge  probably  somewhat  too  high. 

(d)  Monthly  means  for  January  and  February,  1909,  were  obtained  by  comparison  with  Chippewa  Falls. 

WEST    FORK    OF    CHIPPEWA    RIVER    AT    LESSARD'S, 
NEAR    WINTER,    WIS. 

Location. — At  Lessard's  about  1  mile  above  mouth  of  East  Fork,  coming 
in  from  the  left,  and  8  miles  by  road  northwest  of  the  post  office  of 
Winter. 

Records  available. — December  22,  1911,  to  September  30,  1913. 

Drainage  area. — 485  square  miles. 

Gage. — Metal  staff  attached  to  log  boom  on  left  bank  of  river,  installed 
January  27,  1914;  zero  3.75  feet  below  zero  of  wooden  staff  gage, 
maintained  December  22,  1911,  to  January  27,  1914.  Prior  to  January 
27,  1914,  the  gage  was  read  once  daily  to  nearest  half  inch;  after  this 
date  once  daily  to  nearest  half-tenth  of  a  foot;  limits  of  use:  half- 
tenths  below  6.5  feet,  and  tenths  above  6.5  feet. 

Control. — Heavy  gravel;  not  likely  to  shift. 

Winter  flow. — Discharge  relation  affected  by  ice;  flow  determined  by  dis- 
charge measurements  made  through  the  ice. 

Regulation. — No  dams  used  for  the  purpose  of  storing  water  are  now  in 
operation  above  the  gaging  station. 

Accuracy. — Records  good  except  during  the  summer  of  1914  when  logs 
lodged  on  the  control  and  caused  backwater  at  the  gage.  Estimates 
of  flow  during  this  period  based  on  three  measurements  made  May 
'  3,  June  8,  and  September  16,  1914. 

Cooperation. — Records  December  22,  1911,  to  January  27,  1914,  furnished 
through  the  courtesy  of  the  Chippewa  &  Flambeau  Improvement  Co., 
which  has  also  paid  the  gage  reader  to  date.

NOTE: — Daily  discharge  Apr.  1,  1912,  to  Apr.  26,  1914,  computed  from  a  rating  curve  well  defined  between  190  and 
1,220  second-feet  (gage  heights,  4.9  and  6.4  feet).  Daily  discharge,  Apr.  27,  to  Sept.  30,  1914,  estimated,  on  account  of 
log  jams,  from  discharge  measurements  made  on  May  3,  June  8,  and  Sept.  10,  1914. 

Discharge  estimated,  because  of  ice,  from  gage  heights,  observer's  notes,  discharge  measurements,  and  climatologic 
records  as  follows:  Dec.  23  to  31,  1913,  240  second-feet;  Jan.  1-31,  230  second-feet;  Feb.  11,  134  second-feet;  Feb. 
21-28,  135  second-feet;  Mar.  1-10,  143  second-feet;  Mar.  11-20,  173  second-feet;  Mar.  21-31,  221  second-feet; 
and  April  1-5,  270  second-feet.

Railroad  Commission  Report 


Control. — Heavy  gravel  and  rock;   probably  permanent. 

Discharge  measurements. — Made  from  a  standard  car  and  cable  across 
the  river  about  200  feet  below  the  gage. 

Winter  flow. — Discharge  relation  affected  by  ice;  estimates  of  flow  based 
on  discharge  measurements  made  through  the  ice. 

Regulation. — The  Ghippewa  &  Flambeau  Improvement  Co.  operates 
storage  reservoirs  on  Rest  Lake;  also  smaller  reservoirs  on  Manitowish 
and  Turtle  Rivers  and  Bear  Creek.  Weekly  fluctuations  at  the  gage 
are  caused  by  the  operation  of  power  plants  at  Park  Falls  and  by  the 
storage  reservoirs;  no  daily  fluctuation  has  been  observed. 

Accuracy. — Gage  height  records  reliable.  Data  insufficient  for  estimates 
of  discharge.

Railroad  Commission  Report 


EAU   CLAIRE   RIVER   AT   EAU   CLAIRE,   WIS. 

Location. — Footbridge  at  old  dam  located  about  1  mile  above  the  mouth 
of  the  river  near  the  McDonough  Mfg.  Co.,  Eau  Claire,  Wis. 

Records  available.— December  27,  1913,  to  July  17,  1914.  (See  Eau 
Claire  River  near  Augusta.) 

Drainage  area. — 873  square  miles. 

Gage. — Chain  gage,  attached  to  downstream  railing  of  foot  bridge,  read 
twice  daily,  morning  and  evening,  to  half  tenths;  limits  of  use:  hun- 
dredths  below  1.5  feet,  half  tenths  between  1.5  and  2.5  feet,  and  tenths 
above  2.5  feet. 

Control. — Heavy  gravel  and  sand. 

Discharge  measurements. — During  low  stages,  made  from  footbridge  to 
which  gage  is  attached;  during  medium  and  high  stages  from  the 
Madison  Street  bridge,  one-half  mile  below  gage. 

Winter  flow. — Discharge  relation  affected  by  ice;  flow  determined  from 
discharge  measurements  made  through  the  ice. 

Regulation. — None. 

Accuracy. — Below  the  gage  is  a  rock  outcrop  at  which  there  is  at  all  times 
a  decided  riffle;  but  during  high  water  in  Chippewa  River  there  was 
apparently  backwater  at  the  gage;  records  for  such  periods  only  approxi- 
mate.

RED  CEDAR  RIVER  NEAR  COLFAX,  WIS. 

I. oration. — At  a  highway  bridge  about  5  miles  north  of  Colfax,  Wis.  Hay 
River  enters  from  the  right  about  11  miles  below  and  Trout  Creek, 
also  from  the  right,  3^  miles  above  the  station. 

Records  available.— March   10  to  September  30,   1914. 

Drainage  area. — 1,100  square  miles. 

(ia-je. — Chain  gage  attached  to  the  downstream  side  of  bridge;  read  twice 
daily,  morning  and  evening,  to  quarter  tenths;  limits  of  use:  half  tenths 
below  1.0  foot,  and  tenths  above  1.0  foot. 

Control. — Rock  ledge;  permanent;  during  summer  months,  discharge  rela- 
tion is  affected  by  growth  of  grass. 

Discharge  measurements. — Made  from  downstream  side  of  bridge  to 
which  gage  is  attached. 

Winter  flow. — Discharge  relation  affected  by  ice;  flow  determined  from 
measurements  made  through  the  ice. 

Regulation. — None. 

Accuracy. — Rating  curve  well  defined;  records  probably  excellent  except 
for  period  from  July  26  to  September  30  when  discharge  relation  is 
believed  to  have  been  affected  by  backwater  due  to  grass  in  channel; 
discharge  for  this  period  determined  by  applying  corrections  to  the 
open-water  rating  curve. 

Cooperation. — Gage  reader  at  this  station  paid  by  the  Wisconsin  &  Min- 
nesota Light  &  Power  Co.

Railroad  Commission  Report 


RED  CEDAR  RIVER  AT  CEDAR  FALLS,  WIS. 

Location. — At   the   highway   bridge   in   the   vicinity   of    Cedar    Falls,    Wis. 

4j   miles   above   the   crossing   of   the    Chicago,    St.    Paul,    Minneapolis, 

&  Omaha  Railway. 
.Records  available. — April  1,  1909,  to  September  30,  1914.     Data  published 

also  in   U.   S.   Geol.   Survey   Water-Supply    Papers  265,  285,   305,    and 

325. 

Drainage  area. — Not  measured. 
Gage. — Staff  gage  fastened  to  bridge  pier;  read  twice  daily,  morning  and 

evening,  to  tenths. 
Control. — Probably  permanent. 
Discharge  measurements. — No    discharge   measurements   have   been   made 

at  this  station.     The  station  is   maintained   for  the  purpose   of  deter- 
mining the  fluctuation  in  stage. 
Winter  flow. — Winters  are  severe  in  this  locality,  but  the  discharge  relation 

is  apparently  not  greatly  affected  by  ice,  probably  because  of  the  rapids 

a   short   distance   below   the   station    which   ordinarily   do   not   entirely 

freeze  over. 
Regulation. — The  operation  of  small  storage  reservoirs  at  the  headwaters 

of   the    river,    together   with    storage    at    the    power   plants    above    the 

gaging  station,  modifies  the  flow  to  such  an  extent  that  it  can  not  be 

considered  natural. 
Cooperation. — Gage    heights    furnished    by    the    Wisconsin    &    Minnesota 

Light  &  Power  Co. 

Daily  gage  height,   in   feet,   of  Red  Cedar  River  at  Cedar  Falls,    Wis., 
for  the  years  ending  Sept.  30,  1909-1914.

Railroad  Commission  Report 


RED   CEDAR    AT    MENOMONIE,    WIS. 

Location. — About  900  feet  below  the  power  house  of  the  Wisconsin  & 
Minnesota  Light  &  Power  Co.,  about  13  miles  above  the  confluence 
of  the  Red  Cedar  and  Chippewa  rivers.  Wilson  creek  enters  from 
the  right  into  the  service  reservoir  just  above  the  station. 

Records  available. — June  16,  1907,  to  September  5,  1908;  May  9,  1913, 
to  September  30,  1914.  Records  for  1907-8  published  in  United  States 
Geological  Survey  Water-Supply  Paper  245. 

Drainage  area. — 1,810  square  miles. 

Gage. — From  June  16,  1907,  to  September  5,  1908,  the  gage  was  attached 
to  a  highway  bridge  about  200  rods  west  of  the  Chicago  &  North 
Western  Railway  station  west  of  Menomonie;  on  May  9,  1913,  a  Barrett 
&  Lawrence  recording  gage  was  installed  over  wooden  intake  and  well 
on  right  bank  of  river  about  1  mile  above  site  of  old  gage.  Relation 
between  datums  of  the  two  gages  not  determined. 

Control. — Heavy  gravel  and  rock;  permanent. 

Discharge  measurements.— Made  from  the  highway  bridge  to  which  the 
old  gage  was  fastened. 

Winter  flow. — Formation  of  ice  on  the  control  is  prevented  by  the  flow 
of  relatively  warm  water  from  the  service  reservoir  immediately  above 
the  gage;  winter  records  as  accurate  as  those  of  summer. 

Regulation. — Considerable  diurnal  fluctuation  in  stage  at  the  gage  section 
is  caused  by  the  operation  of  the  power  plants  of  the  Wisconsin  & 
Minnesota  Light  &  Power  Co.  at  Menomonie  and  Cedar  Falls,  and 
minor  changes  are  also  caused  by  smaller  plants  on  the  tributaries  of  the 
Red  Cedar  above  Menomonie. 

Floods. — The  flow  of  the  water  is  so  well  controlled  by  dams  at  Menomonie 
and  Cedar  Falls  and  by  natural  storage  in  the  headwaters  that  the 
occurrence  of  floods  is  unlikely. 

Accuracy. — Rating  curve  carefully  developed;  mean  stage  accurately  deter- 
mined from  recording  gage;  records  excellent. 

Cooperation. — Recording  gage  installed  and  gage  height  record  furnished  by 
the  Wisconsin  &  Minnesota  Light  &  Power  Co.;  discharge  measure- 
ments and  computations  of  flow  made  by  United  States  Geological 
Survey. 

Discharge  measurements  of  Red  Cedar  River  at  Menomonie,  Wis., 
during  the  years  ending  Sept.  30,  1913-1914.

BLACK  RIVER  AT  NEILLSVILLE,  WIS. 

Locution. — At  lower  highway  bridge,  city  of  Neillsville,  Wis.,  O'Neill 
Creek  enters  from  the  left  about  1  mile  above  the  gage,  and  Cunning- 
ham Creek,  also  from  the  left,  about  1^  miles  below. 

K«ords    available.— April    7,    1905,    to    March    31,    1909;    December    11, 

1913,  to   September   30,    1914.     Records   April   7,    1905,   to   March   31, 
1909,    published    in    United    States    Geological    Survey    Water-Supply 
Papers   171,   207,   245,   and  265. 

Drainage    area. — 774    square    miles;    area    used    in    previous    water-supply 

papers  as  675  square  miles. 
Gage. — Chain  gage  fastened  to  downstream  side  of  highway  bridge;  read 

twice   daily,    morning   and    evening,    to    quarter   tenths;    limits    of    use: 

hundredths  below  3.5  feet,   half  tenths  between  3.5  and  4.5  feet,   and 

tenths    above    4.5    feet. 

Discharge    measurements. — Made    from    bridge    and    by    wading. 
!    Floods. — On  June  6,  1905,  the  river  reached  a  stage  of  19.8   feet;    on  June 

5,  1914,  a  stage  of  19.55  feet.     A  rating  curve,  developed   during  June, 

1914,  when   discharge   measurements   were   made_  at    a    stage    of    12.53 
feet,    indicates   that   the   discharge   June    6,    1905,    was    approximately1 
29,400  second-feet,  and  on  June  5,   1914,  28,700  second-feet. 

Winter  flow. — Discharge  relation  affected  by  ice. 

Regulation. — Marked    diurnal    fluctuations,    especially    during    low    stages, 

are  caused  by  the  operation  of  power  plants  above. 
Accuracy. — -Medium    and    high   stage   records    excellent;    low-stage    records, 

especially  during  the  winter,  only  fair,  owing  to  diurnal  fluctuations. 

i  Previously  determined  as  23,000  second-feet,  from  a  curve,  the  highest   measurement   of  which  was  m:ub  at  a 
stage  of  only  7.7  feet.

NOTE:— Monthly  discharge  for  1905  differs  from  that  published  in  U.  S.  Geol.  Survey  Water-Supply  Paper  171  on 
account  of  publishing  the  above  values  to  three  significant  figures.  Discharge  in  "second-feet  per  square  mile"  and  run- 
off "depth  in  inches,"  for  1905—1909  differ  from  those  published  in  U.  S.  Geol.  Survey  Water-Supply  Papers  171,  207, 
245,  and  265  on  account  of  revising  and  changing  the  drainage  area  from  675  to  774  square  miles.  Monthly  mean  dis- 
charges for  1906  are  good,  except  July  and  August  which  are  fair.  During  the  frozen  period  in  1906  the  discharge  prob- 
ably seldom  exceeded  500  second-feet  and  attained  a  minimum  of  at  least  150,  and  probably  much  less.  The  monthly 
mean  discharges  for  January  to  March,  1909,  are  based  on  one  discharge  measurement  made  during  the  period,  a  study 
.  of  climatologic  data,  and  observer's  notes  on  ice  conditions.  See  footnote  to  table  of  daily  discharge.

LA  CROSSE  RIVER  NEAR  WEST  SALEM,  WIS. 

Location. — At  highway  bridge  2  miles  west  of  West  Salem,  Wis.,  and  10 
miles  above  the  mouth  of  the  river.  Dutch  Creek  enters  from  the  right 
6  miles  above  the  station. 

Drainage  area. — 412  square  miles. 

Records  available.— December  22,  1913,  to  September  30,  1914. 

Gage. — Chain  gage  fastened  to  concrete  guard-rail  on  the  upstream  side  of 
bridge;  read  twice  daily,  morning  and  evening,  to  quarter  tenths;  limits 
of  use:  hundredths  below  1.0  foot,  half  tenths  between  1.0  and  2.0  feet, 
and  tenths  above  2.0  feet. 


On  \Vdtcr  Powers  to  the  Legislature 


329 


(  ontrol. — Heavy  gravel  and  rock;  probably  permanent.  The  section  at  the 
bridge  was  originally  unfavorable  for  making  accurate  discharge  measure- 
ments. The  channel  was  however  cleaned  out  during  the  summer  of 
1914,  making  accurate  discharge  measurements  possible. 

Discharge  measurements. — Made  from  upstream  side  of  bridge  during 
medium  and  high  stages;  by  wading  during  low  stages.  A  stay-wire 
has  been  erected  upstream  from  the  bridge  for  use  during  high  water. 

Regulation. — During  low  stages  a  small  diurnal  fluctuation  at  the  gage  is 
caused  by  operation  of  power  plant  above. 

Accuracy. — Results  only  fair;  accuracy  of  records  impaired  by  artificial 
regulation  of  flow.

On  Water  Powers  to  the  Legislature

WISCONSIN  RIVER  BASIN 
WISCONSIN  RIVER  NEAR  RHINELANDER,  WIS. 

Location.— In  Sec.  27,  T.  36  N.,  R.  8  E.,  at  highway  bridge  just  below 
Hhinelander  Power  Go's  power  station,  8  miles  southwest  of  Rhine- 
lander,  Wis.,  8  miles  below  the  mouth  of  the  Pelican  River. 

Records  available. — December  1,  1905,  to  September  30,  1914.  Also  pub- 
lished in  U.  S.  Geol.  Survey  Water-Supply  Papers  207,  245,  265,  285, 
305,  and  325. 

Drainage  area. — 1,110  square  miles. 

Gage. — Standard  chain  gage,  fastened  to  upstream  side  of  bridge;  read  once 
daily,  October  1,  1913,  to  April  15,  1914,  to  nearest  tenth,  and  twice 
daily,  morning  and  evening,  to  nearest  tenth  from  April  16  to  Septem- 
ber 30,  1914;  limits  of  use:  half  tenths  below  3.5  and  tenths  above  3.5 
feet.  Gage  heights  November  27  to  December  31,  1910,  as  published 
in  Water-Supply  Paper  285;  for  1911,  as  published  in  Water-Supply 
Paper  305;  and  from  January  1  to  September  18,  1912,  as  published  in 
Water-Supply  Paper  325,  should  be  corrected  by  subtracting  0.13  foot; 
all  gage  heights  September  19  to  30,  1912,  as  published  in  WTater-Supply 
Paper  325,  should  be  corrected  by  adding  0.12  foot. 

Discharge  measurements. — Made  from  downstream  side  of  bridge  to 
which  gage  is  attached. 

Winter  flow. — Little  ice  forms  in  the  vicinity  of  the  gage,  owing  to  the 
relatively  high  temperature  of  the  water  coming  from  the  service 
reservoirs. 

Regulation. — Flow  of  river  controlled  by  the  Rhinelander  Power  Go's 
plant  near  Rhinelander  and  the  plant  at  Otter  Rapids;  modified  also 
by  storage  reservoirs  in  the  headwaters  operated  by  the  Upper  Wis- 
consin Valley  Improvement  Co. 

Accuracy. — Records  only  fair,  owing  to  the  operation  of  the  power  plants 
and  to  the  presence  of  grass  in  the  stream  which  may  cause  backwater 
at  times. 


Discharge  measurements  of  Wisconsin   River  near  Rhinelander,    Wis.,   during

NOTK. — See  "Accuracy"  in  station  description. 

WISCONSIN  RIVER  AT  MERRILL,  WIS. 

Location. — At  highway  bridge,  east  end  of  the  city  of  Merrill,  1,000  fee 
below  the  power  house  and  dam  of  the  Merrill  Electric  Railway  & 
Power  Co.,  and  half  a  mile  below  the  mouth  of  Prairie  River,  comim 
in  from  the  right. 

Records  available.— November  17,  1902,  to  September  30,  1914;  published 

also  in  U.  S.  Geol.  Survey  Water-Supply  Papers  83,  98,  128,  171,  207 

245,  265,  285,  305,  and  325. 

Drainage  area.— 2,630  square  miles. 

Gage.— November  17,  1902,  to  June  17,  1903,  staff  gage;  June  17,  1903,  t( 

September   10,    1914,   chain  gage,   attached  to   downstream  side   of  th 

highway  bridge;  datum  the  same  since  June  17,  1903;  records  prior  t( 

this  date  doubtful;  Stevens  recording  gage  installed  September  11,  1914 

From  January  to  July  the  chain  gage  was  read  twice  daily;  from  Augus 

to  December  once  daily,  in  the  morning.     Gage  heights  for  January  tc 

December,    1912,    as    published    in    U.    S.    Geol.    Survey    Water-Supply 

Paper  325  should  be  corrected  by  subtracting  .07  foot. 

Control. — Heavy  gravel  and  rock;  probably  permanent,  except  for  possibl 

scour  in  high  water. 
Discharge  measurements. — Made  from  highway  bridge  to  which  the  gage 

is  attached. 

Winter  flow. — Little  ice  forms  at  gage  section.     Ice  forms  on  the  right  bank 
of  the  river  below  the  gage,  extending  at  times  nearly  to  the  center  of 
the  channel  and  causing  a  small  amount  of  backwater  at  the  gage. 
Regulation. — Upstream  from  the  gage  are  the  following  power  plants,    in 
order: 

Merrill;  Merrill  Electric  Light  &  Railway  Co. 

Tomahawk;  Tomahawk  Pulp  &  Paper  Co. 

Tomahawk;  Tomahawk  Tannery  Co. 

Kings;  Tomahawk  Power  Co. 

Hat  Rapids;  Rhinelander  Power  Co. 

Rhinelander;  Rhinelander  Paper  Co. 

Otter  Rapids;  Eagle  River  Electric  Co. 


On  Water  Powers  to  the  Legislature 


341 


All  these  plants  control  the  flow  somewhat  by  means  of  service  reser- 
voirs. The  plant  at  Otter  Rapids  has  a  pondage  with  an  area  of  5 
square  miles.  In  addition  to  regulation  by  the  plants  named  above,  17 
reservoirs,  having  a  capacity  of  over  four  billion  cubic  feet,  are  operated 
for  storage  in  the  \Visconsin  basin  above  Merrill,  by  the  Wisconsin 
Valley  Improvement  Co. 

Floods.1 — On  July  24,  1912,  at  5:00  a.  m.,  the  water  reached  a  stage  of 
approximately  17.5  feet,  corresponding  to  a  discharge  of  45,000  second- 
feet.  During  the  21  hours  previous,  11.25  inches  of  rain  had  fallen  in 
the  vicinity  of  Merrill.  According  to  C.  B.  Stewart,  consulting  engineer, 
Madison,  the  run-off  of  the  700  square  miles  between  Merrill  and  Toma- 
hawk was  at  the  rate  of  65  cubic  feet  per  square  mile;  if  the  estimate  is 
extended  to  the  entire  drainage  area  above  Merrill,  the  flow  was  17 
second-feet  per  square  mile;  little  rain,  however,  had  fallen  in  the  basin 
above  Tomahawk. 

Accuracy. — Accuracy  of  records  impaired  by  diurnal  fluctuations  caused  by 
the  operation  of  power  plants,  by  backwater  from  ice  during  the  .win- 
ter, and  possibly  from  logs  in  the  spring  on  the  control.  During  the 
last  part  of  September,  1908,  the  water  reached  a  stage  considerably 
below  that  at  which  any  measurements  have  been~made;  because  of  the 
large  daily  fluctuation  during  low  stages  and  possible  error  in  the  exten- 
sion of  rating  curve,  estimates  of  discharges  based  on  mean  gage  height 
for  the  day  should  be  use.d  with  caution.  See  special  footnotes  to 
tables  of  daily  and  monthly  discharge. 

Cooperation. — Station  maintained  in  cooperation  with  the  United  States 
Weather  Bureau  and  the  Wisconsin  Valley  Improvement  Co. 

i  See  Stewart,  Clinton  B.,  Investigation  ot  flood  flow  on  the  Watershed  Upper  Mississippi  River:   Western  Soc.

NOTE:— Monthly  discharge  table  for  January  to  December,  1904,  differs  from  that  published  in  U.  S.  Geol.  Survey 
Water-Supply  Paper  12S  in  the  use  here  of  three  significant  figures. 

WISCONSIN  RIVER  AT  NEKOOSA,   WIS. 

Location. — A  mile  and  a  half  below  Nekoosa,  Wis.  Ten  Mile  Creek  enters 
from  the  left  about  2  miles  below  the  station.  Big  Roche  a  Cri  Creek 
enters  also  from  the  left  about  28  miles  below  the  station. 

Records  available.— May  21  to  September  30,   1914. 

Drainage  area. — 5,500  square  miles. 

Gage. — Staff  gage,  in  two  sections;  read  twice  daily,  morning  and  evening 
to  quarter  tenths;  limits  of  use:  hundredths  below  3.0  feet,  half  tenths 
from  3.0  to  4.0  feet,  and  tenths  above  4.0  feet.  Records  after  Septem- 
ber 30,  1914,  to  be  obtained  from  recording  gage  in  a  timber  well 
in  the  river,  on  the  right  bank,  about  300  feet  below  the  site  of  the 
staff  gage. 

Control. — Heavy  gravel;   clean   and   probably  permanent. 

Discharge  measurements. — Made  from  a  car  suspended  from  a  cable 
having  a  clear  span  of  750  feet,  a  short  distance  from  staff  gage. 

Winter    flow. — Data    not   yet    available. 

Regulation. — -Flow  controlled  by  the  operation  of  the  power  plants  and 
storage  reservoirs  above. 

Cooperation. — The  Wisconsin  Valley  Improvement  Co.  aided  financially 
in  establishing  the  recording  gage  and  cable. 

The  following  discharge  measurement  was  made  by  G.   H.   Canfiekl 
and  H.  C.  Beckman: 

September  22,   1914:  Gage  height,  3.19;  discharge,  5,000  second-feet.

(a)  Water  above  the  gage.;  maximum  approximately  15.3  feet. 


WISCONSIN  RIVER  NEAR  NECEDAH,  WIS. 

Location. — At  the  highway  bridge  known  as  "Pete-in-Well  Bridge,"  about 
3  miles  east  of  Necedah,  Wis.,  on  the  road  from  Necedah  to  Strongs 
Prairie,  about  5  miles  above  the  mouth  of  the  big  Roche  a  Cri  Creek, 
coming  in  from  the  left. 

Records  available. — December,  1902,  to  June  30,  1914,  when  station  was 
discontinued.  Data  published  also  in  U.  S.  Geol.  Survey  Water-Supply 
Papers  83,  98,  128,  171,  207,  245,  265,  285,  305,  and  325. 

Drainage  area. — 5,800  square  miles. 

Gage.— Chain  gage  attached  to  bridge.  Gage  heights  as  published  in 
Water-Supply  Paper  265  for  the  year  1909  approximately  .04  foot 
too  high;  gage  heights  for  1910,  W7ater-Supply  Paper  285,  approxi- 
mately .08  foot  too  high;  gage  heights  for  1911,  as  published  in  Water- 
Supply  Paper  305,  approximately  .13  foot  too  high;  gage  heights  for 
1912,  as  published  in  Water-Supply  Paper  325,  approximately  .17 
foot  too  high.  Gage  heights  for  1913  referred  to  original  datum. 

Control. — Bed  of  river  near  right  bank  rocky;  both  up  and  down  stream 
the  bed  is  for  the  most  part  sandy  and,  as  shown  by  the  cross-section 
of  measurements,  shifts  continually. 


On  Water  Powers  to  the  Legislature 


353 


Floods.— Highest  stage  recorded  at  this  station,  16.8  feet,  October  10,  1911. 

Winter  flow. — Discharge  relation  greatly  modified  by  ice  which  forms  at 
the  gage  to  a  thickness  of  1  to  2  feet. 

Accuracy. — Owing  to  the  shifting  nature  of  the  bed,  estimates  based  on 
occasional  discharge  measurements  should  be  used  with  great  caution. 

Cooperation. — Gage  heights  furnished  by  the  Wisconsin  Valley  Improve- 
ment Co. 


Discharge   measurements   of   Wisconsin    River   near    Necedah,    Wis.t

published  also  in  Water-Supply  Papers  83  and  98.  Gage  heights  for 
November  1,  1908,  to  December  31,  1912  published  in  U.  S.  Weather 
Bureau  bulletin  Daily  River  Stages,  Parts  9,  10,  and  11. 

Drainage   area. — 10,300  square   miles.

tenths  throughout  entire  range  in  stage  during  the  year  ending  Septem- 
ber 30,  1914.  Elevation  of  zero  of  present  gage  is  approximately 
12.62  feet  above  that  of  gage  maintained  December  20,  1902,  to  Dec- 
ember 31,  1903;  elevation  of  gage  during  the  period  November,  1908, 
to  December  3,  1913,  as  read  and  published  by  the  U.  S.  Weather 
Bureau  was  approximately  the  same  as  during  the  period  December 
4,  1913,  to  September  30,  1914.  Elevation  of  present  gage  is  approxi- 
mately 666.2  feet  ab'ove  sea  level.

observer,  at  the  crest  of  a  flood  that  occurred  during  October,  1911, 
gave  a  stage  of  10.4  feet  compared  with  present  datum  of  gage;  old 
residents  report  that  the  crest  of  a  flood  during  1888  marked  a  stage 
of  approximately  1  foot  higher  than  that  of  October,  1911. 

Winter  flow. — Discharge  relation  affected  by  ice;  flow  determined  from 
discharge  measurements  made  though  the  ice. 

Regulation. — Nearest  power  plant  above  the  station  is  at  Prairie  du  Sac, 
about  40  miles  distant;  no  diurnal  fluctuation  at  this  station  caused 
by  operation  of  this  plant.

EAU   CLAIRE   RIVER   AT    KELLY,   WIS. 
Location. — At  highway  bridge  three-fourths  mile  below  Kelly,  Wis.,  about 

1  mile  above  mouth  of  Big  Sandy  Creek,  which  enters  from  the  right, 

and  4 1  miles  above  mouth  of  river. 

Records    available. — January    1    to    September    30,    1914. 
Drainage  area. — 326  square  miles. 
Gage. — Chain   gage  fastened  to  downstream   side   of  highway   bridge;   read 


372 


Railroad  Commission  Report 


twice  daily,  morning  and  evening,  to  quarter  tenths;  limits  of  use: 
hundredths  below  1.0  foot,  half  tenths  between  1.0  and  2.5  feet,  and 
tenths  above  2.5  feet. 

Control. — Heavy  gravel   and   rock;  permanent. 

Discharge  measurements. — Made  from  downstream  side  of  bridge  at 
medium  and  high  stages;  by  wading  below  bridge  at  low  stages. 

Regulation. — Immediately  above  the  gage  is  a  dam  which  was  formerly  used 
to  create  a  pond  at  a  mill  but  is  now  used  for  floating  logs;  during 
a  few  days  in  the  spring  the  manipulation  of  the  gates  in  the  dam 
causes  sudden  fluctuations  at  the  gage;  at  other  times  the  flow  is  natural. 

Accuracy. — Records  excellent.

PLOVER  RIVER  NEAR  STEVENS  POINT,  WIS. 

Location. — At  Fast  Waters  highway  bridge,  7  miles  above  mouth  of  river. 

Records  available. — January  5  to  September  30,  1914. 

Drainage  area. — 136  square  miles. 

Gage. — Metal  staff  gage  bolted  to  the  left  abutment,  downstream  side  of 
bridge;  read  twice  daily,  morning  and  evening,  to  quarter  tenths;  limits 
of  use:  hundreths  below  1.0  foot,  half  tenths  between  1.0  and  2.0  ieet, 
and  tenths  above  2.0  feet. 

Control. — Gravel;  smooth,  free  from   vegetation;  probably  permanent. 

Discharge  measurements. — Made  from  downstream  side  of  bridge  to  which 
gage  is  attached. 

\\i nter  flow. — Discharge  relation  affected  by  ice;  flow  determined  from  dis- 
charge measurements  made  through  the  ice. 

Regulation, — Two  dams  are  used  in  connection  with  grist  mills  above  the 
station,  but  the  plants  have  little  pondage  so  that  flow  at  the  gage  is 
nearly  natural. 

Accuracy. — Rating  curve  well  defined;  records  probably  good.

Railroad  Commission  Report 


BARABOO  RIVER  NEAR  BARABOO.  WIS. 

Location. — Highway    bridge    4    miles    downstream    from    Baraboo,    Wis., 

about  3  miles  below  creek  rising  near  Devil's  Lake,  coming  in  from  the 

right,   and   15  miles  above  mouth  of  river. 

Records   available. — December   18,    1913,   to   September  30,    1914. 
Drainage  area. — 572  square  miles. 
Gage. — Chain  gage,  attached  to  upstream  side  of  bridge;  read  twice  daily, 

morning  and  evening,   to  hundredths;  limits  of  use:  hundredths  below 

2.0  feet,   half  tenths  between  2.0  and  3.0  feet,   and   tenths  above  3.0 

feet. 

Control. — Sandy;  likely  to  shift  during  floods. 
Discharge    measurements. — Made    from    highway    bridge    to    which    gage 

is  attached. 
Winter  flow. — Discharge  relation  affected  by  ice;  discharge  estimated  from 

discharge    measurements    made    monthly. 
Regulation. — Daily  flow  may  be  somewhat  affected  by  operation  of  power 

plants    in    Baraboo;    estimates    of    mean    monthly    discharge    probably 

represent  nearly  the  natural  flow. 
Accuracy. — Records  probably  good. 


Discharge  measurements  of  Baraboo  River  near  Baraboo,    Wis.,    during 
the  year  ending  Sept.  30,  1914.

Records   available.— December   25,    1913,    to   September  30,    1914. 

Drainage  area. — 629  square  miles. 

Gage. — Chain  gage  fastened  to  downstream  side  of  highway  bridge;  read 
twice  daily,  morning  and  evening,  to  quarter  tenths;  limits  of  use: 
hundredths  below  1.0  foot,  half  tenths  between  1.0  and  2.0  feet,  and 
tenths  above  2.0  feet. 

Control. — May  shift  during  high  water. 

Winter  flow.— Discharge  relation  affected  by  ice;  flow  determined  from 
discharge  measurements  made  through  the  ice. 

Regulation. — Little,  if  any,  diurnal  fluctuation  noted  at  the  gage;  flow 
probably  natural. 

Accuracy. — See  footnotes.

Railroad  Commission  Report 


ROCK   RIVER   BASIN 
ROCK  RIVER  AT  WATERTOWN,  WIS. 

Location. — At  Milwaukee  Street  highway  bridge,  city  of  Watertown,  Wis. 
Crawfish  River  enters  from  the  right  about  16  miles  below  and  Ocono- 
mowoc  River  from  the  left  about  9  miles  above  the  station. 

Records  available. — June  18  to  September  30,   1914. 

Drainage  area. — 964  square  miles. 

Gage. — Standard  chain  gage  attached  to  downstream  side  of  bridge;  read 
twice  daily,  morning  and  afternoon,  to  hundredths;  limits  of  use:  hun- 
dredths  below  3.0  feet,  half  tenths  between  3.0  and  4.0  feet,  and  tenths 
above  4.0  feet. 

Control. — Composed  of  heavy  gravel  in  which  there  is  a  large  growth  of 
grass;  bed  of  river  is  in  itself  permanent;  amount  of  grass  depends 
on  the  season. 

Discharge  measurements.— Made  from  downstream  side  of  bridge  during 
high  water  and  by  wading  during  low  and  medium  stages. 

Winter  flow. — Data  not  available. 

Regulation. — Immediately  above  the  station  is  a  dam  with  a  10-ft.  head, 
furnishing  water  to  two  grist  mills,  one  on  each  side  of  the  river.  Dur- 
ing periods  of  low  flow  the  water  stands  below  the  crest  of  the  dam, 
the  entire  flow  passing  through  the  wheels;  gage  record  for  such  periods 
shows  a  diurnal  fluctuation;  the  flow  is  also  influenced  to  some  extent 
by  operation  of  the  "Rough  and  Ready"  dam,  about  l|  miles  above 
the  station. 

Accuracy.— Gage  height  record  only  fair.  Data  insufficient  for  estimates 
of  daily  and  monthly  discharge.

ROCK  RIVER  AT  AFTON,  WIS. 

Location. — At  highway  bridge,  town  of  Afton,  Wis.,  about  9  miles  above 
the  Illinois  state  line.  Bass  Creek  enters  from  the  right  about  three- 
fourths  mile  below  the  station. 

Records   available. — February   5   to   September  30,    1914. 

Drainage  area. — 3,190  square  miles. 

Gage. — Chain  gage  fastened  to  the  downstream  side  of  highway  bridge; 
read  twice  daily,  morning  and  evening,  to  quarter  tenths;  limits  of 
use:  hundredths  below  2.0  feet,  half  tenths  between  2.0  and  3.0  feet, 
and  tenths  above  3.0  feet. 

Control. — No  definite  control  below  gage.  River  bed  consists  of  gravel 
and  clam  shells;  and  is  probably  permanent. 

Discharge  measurements. — Made  from  the  downstream  side  of  highway 
bridge  during  medium  and  high  stages;  at  low  stages  by  wading. 

Winter  flow. — discharge  relation  affected  by  ice;  flow  determined  from 
measurements  made  through  the  ice. 

Regulation. — Operation  of  power  plants  at  Janesville  and  above  causes 
fluctuations  at  the  gage  during  low  stages. 

\ccuracy. — Rating  curve  well  defined;  records  excellent  except  for  periods 
during  extremely  low  water.

PECATONICA    RIVER    AT    DILL,    WIS. 

Location. — At  Illinois  Central  Railroad  bridge  at  Dill  (Ramona  P.  O.,) 
Wis.,  9  miles  above  the  Illinois  state  line,  about  1  mile  above  the 
junction  of  the  East  and  West  branches  of  the  Pecatonica  River. 
Skinner  Creek  enters  from  the  left  about  1  mile  below  the  station. 

Records   available. — February  9  to   September  30,    1914. 

Drainage  area. — 959  square  miles. 

Gage. — Cast  iron  staff  gage  fastened  to  downstream  side  of  the  left-hand 
abutment;  read  twice  daily,  morning  and  evening,  to  quarter  tenths; 
limits  of  use:  hundredths  below  1.0  foot,  half  tenths  between  1.0  and 
2.0  feet,  and  tenths  above  2.0  feet. 

Control. — Sandy;  likely  to  shift  during  all  periods,  of  the  year. 

Discharge  measurements. — At  low  and  medium  stages  made  from  up- 
stream side  of  highway  bridge  about  400  feet  above  the  gage;  during 
extremely  high  water  considerable  water  overflows  to  the  left  of  this 
highway  bridge,  and  measurements  are  made  from  the  railroad  bridge 
to  which  the  gage  is  attached. 

Regulation. — Operation  of  power  plants  above  the  station  causes  little 
if  any  diurnal  fluctuation  noticeable  at  the  gage. 

Winter  flow. — Discharge  relation  affected  by  ice;  flow  determined  from 
discharge  measurements  made  through  the  ice. 

Accuracy. — Records  good.

NOTE: — Discharge  relation  probably  not  materially  affected  by  ice  during  the  period  when  the  above  records  were 
collected. 

BAD    RIVER    NEAR    ODANAH,    WIS. 

Location. — About   8   miles   upstream   from   Odanah,   Wis.,    12   miles   above 

the  mouth.     Potato  River  enters  from  the  right  about  8  miles  above 

the  station. 

Drainage  area. — 607  square  miles. 
Records  available. — July  31   to  September  30,   1914. 
Gage. — Gurley  Automatic  Water  Stage  Register,  over  wooden  well  on  left 

bank;   just    above   the   first   falls   in   the   river   above   the   mouth;   well 

connected  with    the   water   by    a    4£  -  inch    galvanized    steel    pipe;    well 

and  gage  covered  with  a  regulation  wooden  shelter. 
Control. — Rock  outcrop  about  200  feet  below  the  gage;  logs  may  possibly 

hang   on   ledge   and   cause   backwater   at   gage. 
Discharge   measurements. — Made  from  a  cable  about  700  feet  upstream 

from  gage. 
Regulation. — A  number  of  small  reservoirs  are  operated  during  the  early 

spring  and  summer  as  an  aid  to  log  driving;  during  such  periods  the 

stage  will  fluctuate  rapidly  and  the  flow  will  not  be  the  natural  flow. 
Winter  flow. — Discharge  relation  affected  by  ice. 
Cooperation. — Station   maintained   in   cooperation   with   the   U.    S.    Indian 

Service. 

Data  insufficient   for  estimates  of  daily  or  monthly   discharge.

(b)  Measurement  made  from  cable.    No  rods  were  available  for  a  wading  measurement.  While  the  velocity  is  small 
the  3-point  method  was  used  and  it  is  believed  that  it  is  within  5  per  cent. 

(c)  Measurement  made  by  wading  about  1  mile  below  cable.

LAKE  MICHIGAN   BASIN 
MENOMINEE  RIVER   NEAR   IRON   MOUNTAIN,    MICH. 

(.oration. — At  the  Homestead  Highway  Bridge,  3£  miles  south  of  Iron 
Mountain,  Mich. 

Records  available.— September  1,  1902,  to  March  31,  1909;  June  5,  1909, 
to  July  31,  1914,  when  station  was  discontinued  because  reliable  ob- 
server was  not  available. 

Drainage  area. — 2,420  square  miles. 

<;uge. — Standard  chain  gage  attached  to  the  bridge;  read  twice  daily, 
morning  and  evening,  to  tenths;  limits  of  use:  tenths  throughout  entire 
range  in  stage.  Staff  gage  from  September  4,  1902,  to  May  18,  1904. 
The  datum  of  gages  has  remained  practically  the  same. 

Control. — Permanent.  ' 

Regulation. — No  storage  reservoirs  above  the  gaging  station.  Gage  heights, 
however,  show  slight  diurnal  fluctuations  due  to  operation  of  the  Penin- 
sular Power  Co.'s  plant  above.  The  plant  is  run  continuously  but 
the  load  varies  somewhat  throughout  the  day. 

Winter  flow. — Prior  to  1914  few  discharge  measurements  had  been  made 
at  Iron  Mountain  when  ice  was  present.  Information  obtained  from 
people  well  acquainted  with  conditions  in  the  vicinity  of  the  gage  led 
to  the  assumption  that  discharge  relation  was  not  affected  by  ice; 
measurements  made  during  1914,  show,  however,  that  this  assumption 
was  incorrect. 

Accuracy. — In  consideration  of  the  fact  that  ice  will  affect  the  discharge 
relation,  and  that  during  certain  portions  of  the  year  logs  might  have 
been  present,  winter  records  previous  to  December  1,  1913,  should 
be  used  with  caution.

NOTE.— Daily  discharge  prior  to  Jan.  1, 1907,  computed  from  fairly  well-defined  rating  curves;  discharge,  Jan.  1,  1907 
to  Sept.  30,  1913,  computed  from  well-defined  rating  curves;  discharge  for  the  year  ending  Sept.30,  1914,  computed  from 
a  rating  curve  well-defined  between  1,290  and  1 1 ,300  second-feet  (gage  heights,  1.8  and  12.0  feet).  Winter  discharge  in 
1914  estimated,  because  of  ice,  from  gage  heights,  observer's  notes,  discharge  measurements,  and  climatologic  records, 
as  follows:  Jan.  1-10,  1,230  second-feet;  Jan.  11-20,  1,020  second-feet;  Jan.  21-31,  1,140  second-feet;  Feb.  1-10,  1,040 
second-feet;  Feb.  11-20,  874  second-feet;  Feb.  21-28,  890  second-feet;  Mar.  1-10.  782  second-feet;  Mar.  11-20,  875 
second-feet;  and  Mar.  21-31,  886  second-feet.

(a)  Open-water  rating  used;  values  probably  too  high  as  discharge  relation  may  have  been  affected  by  ice. 
NOTE—  Monthly  discharge  tables  September,   1902,  to  December,  1905,  differ  from  those  published  in  U.  S.  Geol. 

Survey  Water-Supply  Papers  129  and  170  for  the  reason  that  the  values  are  here  published  to  three  significant  figures. 
Mean  discharge  Aug.  21-31, 1910,  estimated  at  2,000  second-feet.  Discharge  for  periods  in  1910  and  191 1  when  discharge 
relation  may  have  been  affected  by  ice,  estimated  from  climatologic  records,  and  comparison  with  records  of  flow  of

On  Water  Powers  to  the  Legislature 
MENOMINEE    RIVER    AT    KOSS,    MICH. 


415 


Location. — On  Wisconsin  &  Michigan  railroad  bridge  near  Koss,  Mich., 
about  lli  miles  below  junction  with  Wausaukee  River,  entering  from 
the  right,  and  about  26  miles  above  mouth  of  the  Menominee. 

Kerords  available.— June  21,  1907,  to  March  31,  1909;  January  27  to 
June  30,  1914,  when  station  was  discontinued. 

Drainage  area. — 3,780  square  miles. 

Gage. — Chain;  fastened  to  upstream  side  of  bridge.  Zero  of  gage  used 
January  27  to  June  30,  1914,  is  5  feet  above  the  datum  used  from 
January  21,  1907,  to  March  31,  1909. 

Control. — Rock  and  heavy  gravel;  permanent. 

Winter  flow. — Discharge  relation  affected  by  ice;  flow  determined  from 
discharge  measurements  made  through  the  ice. 

Regulation. — Considerable  fluctuation  at  gage  caused  by  operation  of 
power  plants  above. 

A  re  u  racy.— Gage  heights  apparently  affected  at  times  by  backwater  from 
the  dam  of  the  Menominee  &  Marinette  Light  &  Traction  Co.,  about 
3  miles  below  gage,  and  by  the  operation  of  power  plants  above,  and 
estimates  of  daily  discharge  for  1914  are  therefore  not  presented.  Gage 
heights  June  21,  1907,  to  March  31,  1909,  not  affected  by  the  dam 
below;  records  published  considered  good. 

ischarge  measurements. — Made  during  1914  check  very  closely  the 
computations  of  discharge  made  by  the  Menominee  &  Marinette  Light 
&  Traction  Co.  For  records  of  flow  of  the  Menominee  River  below 
Koss,  Mich.,  see  Menominee  River  at  "Grand  Rapids,"  below  Koss, 
Mich.,  page  419.

NOTE:— Winter  discharge  during  1907  and  1908  estimated  by  means  of  four  measurements  which  showed  a  fairly 
uniform  rate  of  flow,  as  follows:  Dec.  20—31,  1907,  2,200  second-feet;  Apr.  1—13,  1908,  2,470  second-feet;  Dec.  30—31, 
1908,  2,150  second-feet.  Discharge  for  January,  February,  and  March,  1909,  estimated  from  two  discharge  measure- 
ments and  observer's  notes. 


MENOMINEE  RIVER  BELOW  KOSS,  MICH. 

Location. — At  "Grand  Rapids"  about  4  miles  below  Koss,  Mich.,  and  3 
miles  west  of  Ingalls,  Mich.  Little  Cedar  River,  draining  an  area 
wholly  in  Michigan,  enters  from  the  left  about  half  a  mile  below  the 
station. 

Records  available.— July  1,  1913,  to  September  30,  1914. 

Drainage  area. — 3,790  square  miles. 

Discharge. — The  flow  is  computed  by  the  Menominee  &  Marinette  Light 
&  Traction  Co.  of  Menominee,  Mich.,  from  the  kilowatt  output  of 
the  generators  plus  the  waste  over  the  dam  and  gates,  considered  as  a 
weir.  No  account  is  taken  of  the  water  through  the  exciter  turbine 
or  waste  water  over  the  "trash  gate"  at  the  power  house. 

Accuracy. — No  measurements  have  been  made  by  the  Survey  engineers 
at  this  plant,  but  measurements  made  at  Koss  during  the  year  ending 
September  30,  1914,  show  a  close  comparison  with  the  discharges  as 
determined  at  the  power  house.  See  results  of  measurements  at  Koss, 
page  415. 

Cooperation. — Daily  discharge  tables  furnished  by  Edward  Daniell,  General 
Manager  of  the  Menominee  &  Marinette  Light  &  Traction  Company. 
The  monthly  computations  have  been  made  by  the  Survey.

BRULE  RIVER  NEAR  FLORENCE,   WIS. 

Location. — At   highway   bridge   near  Washburn    farm,   3j   miles    north   of 

Florence,   Wis.,   1   mile  above  the  mouth  of  Paint   Creek,   and  6  miles 

above  the  mouth   of  Michigamme   River,   both  entering  from  the  left. 
Records  available. — January  24  to  September  31,  1914. 
Drainage  area. — 344  square  miles. 
Gage. — Chain    gage    fastened    to    upstream    side    of    highway    bridge;    read 

twice    daily,    morning    and    evening,    to    quarter-tenths;    limits    of    use: 

hundredths  below  2.0  feet,   half-tenths  between   2.0  and  3.0  feet,   and 

tenths  above  3.0  feet. 

Control. — Gravel;  smooth  and  probably  permanent. 
Discharge   measurements. — At   low  stages,   made   by  wading;   at   medium 

and  high  stages  from  highway  bridge. 
Winter    flow. — Discharge    relation    affected    by   ice;    flow   determined    from 

measurements  made  through  the  ice. 
Regulation. — Logging  dams   above  the  gage   are   so   operated   that   during 

the  spring  large  volumes  of  water  are  released  to  facilitate  log  driving; 

the  flow  during  such  periods  fluctuates  rapidly;  flow  during  remainder 

of  year  probably  natural. 
Accuracy. — Rating  curve  well  defined;   records  good.

Railroad  Commission  Report 


PINE    RIVER    NEAR    FLORENCE,    WIS. 

Location. — At  highway  bridge,   8  miles  southwest  of  Florence,   Wis.,   and 

12   miles   above   mouth    of   the   river.     Popple    River   enters   from    the 

right  about  2  miles  above  the  station. 
Records    available. — January   22   to   April   30,    and   June    1    to    September 

30,  1914. 

Drainage  area. — 518  square  miles. 
Gage. — Standard   chain   gage   fastened   to   guard   rail   on   upstream   side   of 

bridge;  read  twice  daily,  morning  and  evening,  to  half-tenths. 
Control. — Coarse  gravel  and  stones;  may  shift  during  periods  of  extreme 

high  water. 

Discharge  measurements. — At  medium  and  high  stages  made  from  up- 
stream side  of  bridge;  at  low  stages  by  wading. 

Winter  flow. — Discharge  relation  affected  by  ice;  flow  determined  from 
measurements  made  through  the  ice. 

Regulation.— River  used  for  log  driving  in  spring;  backwater  at  gage 
caused  by  closing  of  gates  of  a  dam  below;  observations  discontinued 
during  such  periods;  incomplete  gage-height  record  published  probably 
represents  natural  flow. 

Accuracy. — Gage  height  records  good  except  for  short  periods  immediately 
before  or  soon  after  the  opening  and  closing  of  the  dam  below  the 
gage.  Data  insufficient  to  warrant  publication  of  estimates  of  daily 
discharge.

NOTE:— Daily  discharge  computed  from  a  rating  curve  well  defined  between  189  and  1,040  second-feet  (gage  heights, 
1.9  and  4.3  feet). 

Discharge  estimated,  because  of  ice,  from  gage  heights,  observer's  notes,  dicharge  measurements,  and  climatologic 
records,  as  follows:  Feb.  26-28,  122  second-feet-  Mar.  1-10,  142  second-feet;  Mar.  11-20,  154  second-feet;

428  Railroad  Commission  Report 

PESHTIGO    RIVER    AT    HIGH    FALLS,    WIS. 

Location. — In  sec.  1,  T.  32  N.,  R.  18  E.,  about  half  a  mile,  downstream 
from  the  dam  of  the  Wisconsin  Public  Service  Company  at  High  Falls, 
1  mile  above  the  mouth  of  Thunder  Creek  which  enters  from  the  right, 
and  about  14  miles  northwest  of  Ellis  Junction. 

Records  available. — August  1,  1912,  to  September  30,  1914.  Gage-height 
record  continuous  since  completion  of  dam. 

Drainage  area. — 585  square  miles. 

Gage. — A  Barrett  &  Lawrence  hydro-chronograph  set  out  in  river  about 
15  feet  from  left  bank,  protected  by  a  large  bowlder,  and  reached 
by  a  stone  dike.  A  small  glass  float  in  a  vertical  pipe  with  holes  at 
the  bottom  controls  the  vertical  movement  of  the  pencil.  The  datum 
of  the  gage,  is  approximately  1,037  feet  above  sea  level. 

Control. — A  riffle  of  coarse  gravel  about  50  feet  below  the  gage;  well- 
defined  and  probably  permanent. 

Discharge  measurements.— Prior  to  November,  1914,  made  by  wading 
or  from  a  boat;  satisfactory  only  at  low  stages  because  of  swift  current 
and  rough  section;  after  November,  1914,  from  a  cable  about  one- 
fourth  mile  below  the  gage. 

Winter  flow. — Discharge  relation  not  affected  by  ice  as  the  river  for  two 
or  three  miles  below  the  dam  is  kept  open  by  the  flow  of  relatively 
warm  water  from  the  reservoir. 

Regulation. — Flow  controlled  by  the  operation  of  the  gates  and  the  tur- 
bines. Water  seldom  passes  over  the  spillway  of  the  dam.  When 
the  gates  are  closed  the  flow  at  the  gage  varies  with  the  load  on  the 
turbines. 

Cooperation. — Gage  installed  and  gage-height  records  furnished  by  the 
Wisconsin  Public  Service  Co.;  material  and  labor  for  erection  of  the 
cable  supplied  through  the  cooperation  of  Mr.  Clement  C.  Smith  of 
Milwaukee,  president  of  the  company. 

Mean  gage  height  for  the  day  obtained  from  record  of  the  automatic 
gage;  data  withheld  pending  the  preparation  of  a  rating  curve  from 
which  the  daily  discharge  may  be  accurately  determined  for  the  gage- 
height  record  beginning  August  12,  1912.

Railroad  Commission  Report 


WOLF  RIVER  AT  KESHENA,  WIS. 

Location. — At  the  highway  bridge  at  Keshena,  Wis.,  3  miles  below  junc- 
tion with  West  Branch  of  Wolf  River,  coming  in  from  the  right. 

Records  available. — May  9,  1907,  to  March  31,  1909;  February  10,  1911, 
to  September  30,  1914.  Records  published  also  in  United  States  Geo- 
logical Survey  Water-Supply  Papers  244,  264,  304,  and  324. 

Drainage  area. — 797  square  miles. 

Gag  . — Vertical  staff  gage  read  twice  daily  up  to  October  1,  1911;  since 
that  date  three  times  daily;  limits  of  use:  hundredths  below  0.5  foot 
half  tenths  between  0.5  foot  and  1.5  feet,  and  tenths  above  1.5  feet 
Same  datum  maintained  since  gage  was  installed. 

Control. — Gravel;    smooth    and    practically    permanent. 

Discharge    measurements. — Made    from   the   bridge. 

Regulation. — The  river  and  its  main  tributaries  above  Keshena  are  con- 
trolled to  some  extent  by  logging  dams. 

Winter  flow. — During  the  winter  solid  ice  cover  forms  in  the  vicinity  o 
the  gage,  causing  from  1  to  3  feet  of  backwater;  at  times  during  the 
winter  slush  ice  and  frazil  ice  collect  under  this  ice  cover,  making  it 
impossible  to  make  discharge  measurements.  The  ice  forms  at  the 
falls  above  Keshena  and  floats  in  the  river  as  far  as  backwater  from 
the  dam  at  Shawano. 

Accuracy. — Conditions  at  station  favorable;  open-water  rating  curve  for 
stages  between  gage  heights  1  and  4  feet  excellent,  and  accuracy  de- 
pends on  the  accuracy  of  the  determination  of  the  mean  gage  height 

Cooperation. — Station  maintained  in  cooperation  with  United  States  In- 
dian Service.

On  Water  Powers  to  the  Legislature  475 

WEST  BRANCH   OF   WOLF   RIVER   AT  NEOPIT,   WIS. 

Location. — At  the  dam  and  power  plant  at  Neopit,  Wis.,  a  station  of  the 
\\  isconsin  Northern  Railroad,  20  miles  north  of  Shawano. 

Records  available. — January  25,  1911,  to  September  30,  1914.  Records 
published  also  in  U.  S.  Geol.  Survey  Water-Supply  Papers  304  and  324. 

Drainage  area. — 108  square  miles. 

Gages.— Vertical    staff,     head     and    tail    race    gages. 

Determination  of  flow. — An  attempt  to  measure  the  flow  by  current 
meter  measurements  made  a  short  distance  below  the  dam  proved 
unsatisfactory,  and  it  was  decided  to  rate  the  turbine  and  spillway. 
The  power  is  developed  by  means  of  a  timber  dam  about  14  feet  high, 
which  backs  the  water  upstream  for  a  considerable  distance  and  forms 
a  service  reservoir.  The  spillway  is  a  rectangular  opening  about  13 
feet  wide,  which  is  closed  by  means  of  stop  planks.  Little  water 
leaks  through  the  dam,  but  considerable  passes  through  the  planks 
when  all  are  in  place.  The  power  house  is  at  the  dam  and  is  equipped 
with  a  35-inch  Leffel-Sampson  turbine,  belted  to  a  60-kilowatt  generator 
which  is  used  chiefly  for  lighting.  The  turbine  takes  water  from  the 
service  reservoir  through  a  rectangular  flume,  which  is  9  feet  wide 
by  6  feet  deep,  and  is  lined  with  smooth  planks.  The  turbine  was 
rated  by  means  of  current-meter  measurements  in  the  flume.  The 
spillway  and  leakage  through  the  boards  were  rated  by  measurements 
in  the  sluiceway.  Gages  were  placed  in  the  pond  and  below  the  dam 
to  show  the  head  on  the  turbine.  Readings  of  the  head  gage,  tail 
gage,  voltage,  amperage,  and  number  of  planks  removed  from  the 
spillway,  were  recorded  seven  times  each  day:  at  6:00,  7:00,  and  10:00 
a.  m.,  12:00  m.,  3:00,  6:00,  and  10:00  p.  m.  These  readings  were 
then  weighted  in  accordance  with  the  elapsed  interval. 

Accuracy. — Discharge  measurements  made  at  this  station  indicate  that 
the  records  were  being  carefully  taken  and  that  the  method  of  com- 
putation gave  results  well  within  10  per  cent. 

Cooperation. — Station  established  at  the  request  of  the  U.  S.  Indian 
Service,  as  Neopit  is  on  the  Menominee  Indian  Reservation.

Records   available. — January   13   to   September  30,    1914. 

Drainage  area. — 485  square  miles. 

Gage.— Chain  gage  fastened  to  upstream  side  of  highway  bridge.  Read 
twice  daily,  morning  and  evening,  to  half  tenths;  limits  of  use:  hun- 
dredths  below  2.0  feet,  half-tenths  between  2.0  and  3.0  feet,  and  tenths 
above.  3.0  feet.  This  gage  is  so  fastened  to  a  cantilever  arm  that  it 
is  immediately  upstream  from  the  crest  of  a  very  decided  rapids. 

Control. — Channel  at  the  gage  section,  heavy  gravel  and  rock;  permanent; 
at  the  measuring  section,  fine,  smooth  gravel. 


On  Water  Powers  to  the  Legislature

Discharge  measurements. — Made  from  a  cable,  about  500  feet  upstream 
from  gage. 

Winter  flow. — Owing  to  the  presence  of  heavy  rapids  at  the  gage,  ice 
rarely  forms  except  during  extremely  cold  weather,  and  then  the  effect 
on  the  gage  height  is  small;  discharge  during  such  periods  determined 
from  discharge  measurements  made  through  the  ice,  at  the  cable  section. 

Regulation. — The  several  power  plants  above  the  station  have  little  storage, 
so  that  their  operation  has  apparently  no  effect  on  the  flow,  which  is 
believed  to  be  nearly  natural. 

Accuracy. — Rating  curve  well-defined;   the  records  good. 

Discharge  measurements  of  Little  Wolf  River  at  Royalton,  Wis., 
during  the  year  ending  Sept.  30,   1914.

Railroad  Commission  Report 


Control. — A  rock  outcrop,  at  which  there  is  a  fall  of  approximately  4  feet* 
immediately  below  the  gage;  should  be  permanent. 

Discharge  measurements. — At  low  stages  made  by  wading  immediately 
above  the  gage;  at  medium  and  high  stages  from  the  lower  members 
of  a  covered  wooden  bridge,  about  700  feet  below  the  gage;  bridge 
covers  an  abandoned  quarry  and  the  channel  beneath,  being  artificial, 
affords  an  excellent  measuring  section. 

Winter  flow. — Data  too  meager  to  determine. 

Regulation.— No  diurnal  fluctuation  noticed  at  the  gage  as  resulting  from 
the  operation  of  some  power  plants. 

Accuracy. — Rating  curve  well  defined;  records  good.
